“…The radiolabelling of the NPs with a direct method can also be performed with a short incubation between SnCl 2 and the NPs, followed by the addition of 99m Tc in the solution. This method was used to radiolabel several types of NPs: octreotide NPs, cerium oxide NPs (CeO 2 -NPs), mesoporous silica NPs, poly-γ-glutamic acid NPs conjugated with folic acid, carbon-based mesoporous NPs, zirconium NPs, serum albumin nanoparticles, polymeric NPs, and dendrimer glycoconjugate [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. All the studies showed a high final LE, but the formation of radiocolloids often requires further purification of the solution.…”
