Table 1 Average values of selected production and QC parameters for batches of [18F]1 produced at the three different productions sites. Errors indicate standard deviations of the mean. The value for the enantiomeric purity at HUH includes productions where the alkylation is carried out at − 20 °C and at room temperature (rt)
