The objective of this study was testing the stability of the radiopharmaceutical [18F]NaF solution, stored at room temperature (15-25°C) at different time intervals. It was investigated the quality of this radiopharmaceutical substance in time under the influence of environmental factors and the influence of material composition of septum from airtight container. The experimental results show that the radiopharmaceutical can be considered stable up to 8 hours after the end of synthesis.
