Abstract

Gelatin is made by boiling skin, ligament, tendon and bone with water, skimming and filtering the resulting solution and evaporating it to dryness (British Pharmaceutical Codex, 1968). In spite of its crude origin and preparation gelatin has been recommended as a stabilising agent in the preparation of 113Inm-containing radiopharmaceuticals for blood pool, lung and liver scanning to prevent the precipitation of indium hydroxide at pH values of 4 and above (Stern, Goodwin, Scheffel, Wagner and Kramer, 1967; Stern, Goodwin, Wagner and Kramer, 1966; Goodwin, Stern, Wagner and Kramer, 1966).
