A new flow-through system for the production of [C-11]phosgene, a versatile labelling agent in radiochemistry for PET, is described. Cyclotron-produced [C-11]CH4 is mixed with Cl-2 and converted into [C-11]CCl4 by passing the mixture through an empty quartz tube at 510 degrees C. The Outflow is directed through a Sb-filled guard that takes Out Cl-2 and then, without intentional O-2 addition, through a second empty quartz tube at 750 degrees C, giving rise to [C-11]phosgene in 30-35% radiochemical yield.
