Abstract

The growing importance of specific activity is reviewed. It concerns especially surface phenomena, toxicity, labelling of radiopharmaceuticals, isotope exchange, enzymatic and pharmacological ligand-receptor reactions. The present state of evaluating the specific activity has been analyzed. Introduction of the coefficient DCF (deviation from true carrier free state) is proposed as a possibility for universal declaration of the specific activity.
