Biohazard hood for radiopharmaceutical preparation
In the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals, ensuring safety and maintaining sterile conditions are critical challenges. This process often involves handling dangerous radioisotopes and requires environmental control to protect both products and operators.
Ensures safety and sterility for radiopharmaceuticals
The BH Series Biohazard Class A Hood, designed by Comecer, is an advanced laminar flow workbench tailored for the safe and sterile handling of radioisotopes. This hood meets EN12469 (Class II) standards and adheres to Class A cGMP directives, ensuring it provides the highest level of environmental safety. It features a spacious work chamber with laminar flow across the entire work area, minimizing contamination risks. The setup includes a shielded glass visual area, specialized compartments for dose calibrators, solid waste, and generator housing, and an integrated 17” monitor for control operations. The construction involves AISI 304 stainless steel and HEPA H14 absolute filters for both inflow and outflow air, ensuring a consistent sterile environment. The hood is partially shielded with lead to accommodate the safe manipulation and elution of Mo99/Tc99m generators and other SPECT emitters.
