Copper tetraMIBI tetrafluoroborate (GMP)

[99mTc]Sestamibi [1] is myocardial perfusion imaging agent to visualize the blood flow through the heart. It is also used in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism to identify parathyroid adenomas, in radioactive surgery of the parathyroid gland and in the diagnosis of breast cancer [2]. 
ABX supplies the GMP precursor Copper tetraMIBI tetrafluoroborate for manufacture of [99mTc]Sestamibi cold kits with market approval in defined countries. The analytical methods and the precursor production process are fully validated.
