  1. RtRD = retention time from radiodetector; RtUV = retention time from UV detector, EOS = end of synthesis, RCPTot = total radiochemical purity; B = percentage of radioactivity due to impurity 68Ga-ions and/or unidentified radioactive impurities from iTLC analysis; T = proportion of the radioactivity due to [68Ga]Ga-ABY-025 in the HPLC analysis; 1Larger volume since no product was absorbed by the sterile filter; 228 min between measurement of 68Ga-eluate and the final product; 3n = 3 since sterile filtration was excluded for Batch 4
