Preparative HPLC (A) and analytical HPLC (B) chromatograms of [18F]FMISO by 18F-fluoroalkylation using [18F]5. The preparative HPLC conditions were as follows: XBridge C18 column (5 μm, 10 mm i.d. × 250 mm length; Waters), a mixture of ethanol and water (2:98, vol./vol.) as the mobile phase, 5.0 mL/min flow rate, and UV detection at 325 nm. The retention time of [18F]FMISO was approximately 12 min (A). The analytical HPLC conditions were as follows: XBridge C18 column (5 μm, 4.6 mm i.d. × 150 mm length; Waters), a mixture of 90 % acetonitrile solution and 50 mM ammonium phosphate buffer (pH 9.3) (7:93, vol./vol.) as the mobile phase, 1.0 mL/min flow rate, and UV detection at 325 nm. The retention time of [18F]FMISO was 5.6 min (B)
