Gadoluminate™
Technical Information
Gadoluminate is the first commercially available ultra-small gadolinium oxide colloid for use in a wide range of MRI and MRA applications. This product is a 30 nm gadolinium colloid (Cat #: CL-20P02-2) and it provides a strong T1 brightening signal that is comparable to the same molar concentration as Gd-DTPA. However, due to its colloidal size and neutral charge, this reagent is retained in the vascular space. The measured blood half-life (t½) of Gadoluminate in a swine model is approximately 12.5 hours and approximately 11.9 minutes in a mouse model.
