Double hot cell for radiopharmaceutical chemistry
When dealing with the preparation and processing of radiopharmaceuticals, particularly iodine-131, ensuring safety and precision is critical. Handling bulk radioactive materials requires specialized environments that minimize exposure and contamination risks while maintaining stringent quality control.
Handles bulk radiopharmaceuticals safely and efficiently
The Double Hot Cell for Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry, produced by Comecer, is designed for the handling and processing of iodine-131 bulk materials. The unit is shielded with 200 mm of lead and features a floor port that allows the introduction of shielded containers on a specially designed trolley. All operations are conducted using master-slave manipulators, with large, lead-shielded glass windows ensuring clear visibility for operators. The hot cell is constructed from a carbon steel frame covered with AISI 304 stainless steel, featuring a Scotch-Brite finish, while the shielded chamber is made from AISI316L stainless steel with a Mirror-Brite finish. The airtight sliding doors incorporate silicone inflatable gaskets, adhering to GMP requirements, and ensuring containment integrity.
