A rapid analytical method for sequential separation and determination of the most significant α- and β-emitting radionuclidic impurities in 99Tc radiopharmaceutical raw material is presented. Successive HTiO co-precipitation steps were first conducted for effective removal of 99Tc to avoid its spectral interference on the determination of β-emitting nuclides by liquid scintillation counting. A sequential chromatographic method was applied for simultaneous separation and purification of actinide and lanthanide isotopes. A series of K99TcO4 solution spiked with known quantities of 238Pu, 239Pu, 241Pu, 237Np, 241Am, 244Cm and 147Pm were analyzed for method evaluation, demonstrating that the method would meet the analytical requirements for radionuclidic impurity evaluation of K99TcO4 raw material.
