To preserve the parent compound in plasma the radioactive plasma must be mixed with equal volumes of acetonitrile within 5 min after its collection or, alternatively, radioactive blood should be collected and mixed with sodium azide (3 mg/ml blood).

In a sodium azide-containing buffer, the aryldiazonium moiety is transformed into an aryl azide.
We coupled the aryldiazonium probe, in a site-directed manner, to a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor competitive antagonist, obtained by chemical engineering of an analogue of a snake alpha-neurotoxin.
