The non-decay corrected radiochemical yield and purity were found to be 31% &#177; 4% (n = 3) and >98% respectively. The total reaction time for radio labelling step was 50 min. %K N-Acetylglucosamine %K Amyloidogenesis %K Lipase-< %K i> %K Candida < %K /i> %K < %K i> %K r< %K /i> %K < %K i> %K ugosa< %K /i> %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=132470
