Tec-Control Aluminum Breakthru Kit
The Aluminum Break¬thru Kit provides a rapid, easy and
inexpensive way to test aqueous soluons, parcularly
per¬tech¬netate generator eluate, for trace quanes of
alu¬minum. Aluminum forms an intense red precipitate with the
indicator paper, and the intensity of the color is directly
proporonal to the amount of aluminum in the soluon. The
USP allows a concentraon of aluminum ion in an injecon 10
micrograms per milliliter (10 µg/ml) in techneum 99m eluate
prepared from Molybdenum 99 formed as a result of uranium
fission.
Simple Procedure: Place a drop of the eluate or soluon to be tested on the indicator paper. The best procedure is to form a
hanging drop using a 1922G needle. Place a drop of the standard aluminum soluon on the indicator paper. Use the same
size drop. Compare the intensity of the red spot formed. If the eluate spot is less intense than the standard soluon, the
eluate contains less than 10µg/ml aluminum.
