Abstract
Novel chemical complexes containing a radioactive technetium isotope are kidney specific when the complexing agents are certain ionic, water-soluble mercaptans. The complexes can be made by reducing pertechnetate ion and reacting the reduced technetium species with the mercaptan. The complexes are normally used in a biologically sterile, substantially isotonic aqueous medium, for diagnostic purposes.
