1. A lyophilized composition comprising:
(a) tetrofosmin disulfosalicylate in an amount between about 13.0-15.0% (w/w) of the lyophilized composition;
(b) gentisic acid in an amount between about 13.54-18.03% (w/w) of the lyophilized composition;
(c) a reducing agent in an amount between about 0.37-0.5% (w/w) of the lyophilized composition;
(d) a transchelator in an amount between about 12.0-16.0% (w/w) of the lyophilized composition; and
(e) a buffering agent at an amount of between about 50.0-62.0% (w/w) of the lyophilized composition,
wherein the tetrofosmin disulfosalicylate and reducing agent are present in a ratio by weight of about 30:1 to about 35:1,
wherein the lyophilized composition is free of ascorbate or ascorbic acid and antimicrobial preservative, and
wherein upon reconstituting the lyophilized composition with an aqueous solution of 99mTc pertechnetate to form a reconstituted composition, the reconstituted composition has a radiochemical purity of at least 90% after 12 hours of storage at a temperature of 2-30° C.
