Production has started on a new Tc 99m sterile generator in Italy. We give the results of a series of quality controls in order to have a first evaluation of the product. The elution profile and the volume, activity, pH, aluminium concentration, 99 Mo content and radiochemical purity of the eluate were examined. Radiochemical purity tests were also carried out with some of the more widely used "in vivo" radiopharmaceuticals. The results are in line with the Official Pharmacopeia and good technical standards.
