Acidification of target water with H 2 SO 4 in a specially constructed glassy carbon/polyethylene apparatus allowed for recovery of up to 82% of [ 18 F]fluoride as [ 18 F]HF gas. The [ 18 F]HF distillate was found to be acid‐free but moist; when passed through a solution of t BuPh 2 SiOTf, it yielded [ 18 F] t BuPh 2 SiF. The multivariate design of experiment showed that the key to high yield of [ 18 F]HF was the efficient degassing of the reaction mixture.
