ASTM C1350 Radiological Testing of Iodine-123 and Iodine-124
The ASTM C1350 standard provides stringent guidelines for the radiological testing of iodine-123 (I-123) and iodine-124 (I-124), which are critical components in radiopharmaceuticals used primarily in medical imaging. These isotopes play a vital role in diagnosing thyroid disorders, assessing cardiac perfusion, and monitoring various metabolic processes within the body.
Radiological testing under ASTM C1350 ensures that these isotopes meet rigorous quality standards for purity, chemical stability, and radiological safety. The process involves meticulous analysis of both I-123 and I-124 to ensure they adhere to the specified parameters outlined in this standard.
ASTM C1350 addresses a range of critical aspects including but not limited to:
- Purity levels
- Chemical stability during storage and transport
- Radiochemical purity
- Specific activity measurement
- Contamination checks
The testing process is highly specialized, requiring advanced instrumentation such as gamma spectrometers to accurately measure the isotopic content. Compliance with ASTM C1350 not only ensures product quality but also contributes significantly to patient safety and clinical accuracy in medical imaging.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ASTM C1350 guidelines, ensuring that every batch of iodine-123 and iodine-124 undergoes thorough radiological testing.

Our commitment to precision and adherence to international standards ensures that you receive high-quality radiopharmaceuticals that contribute to improved patient outcomes.
Applied Standards
| Standard Number | Description | Relevant Parameters |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM C1350-18 | Radiological Testing of Iodine-123 and Iodine-124 for Radiopharmaceuticals | Purity, Radiochemical Purity, Specific Activity, Contamination Levels |
| ISO 5725 | Analytical Methods for Pharmaceuticals | Precision and Bias |
| IEC 61540-3 | Safety of Medical Electrical Equipment | Radiological Safety |
The ASTM C1350 standard is the cornerstone of our testing process, ensuring that every batch of iodine-123 and iodine-124 meets strict purity and chemical stability requirements. Compliance with this standard guarantees the safety and efficacy of radiopharmaceuticals used in medical imaging.
ISO 5725 provides additional assurance by establishing robust methods for analytical testing, ensuring precision and bias are minimized. This is particularly important when dealing with isotopes that must be accurate to within very small margins of error.
The IEC 61540-3 standard focuses on the safety aspects of medical equipment, which indirectly applies to the safety of radiopharmaceuticals when used in conjunction with diagnostic imaging devices. Ensuring compliance with these standards enhances patient safety and trust in our services.
