Fume hood for handling medium activity radioisotopes
When manipulating volatile liquid or gas radioisotopes, it’s crucial to prevent the escape of airborne particles to ensure worker safety and maintain regulatory compliance. Specific tools are needed to contain these substances while providing a safe working environment.
Ensures containment and safety during radioisotope manipulations
The FHR1 50 by Comecer is a specialized fume hood designed for handling medium activity radioisotopes. Made from 1.5 mm thick AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-Brite™ finish, this hood meets current radioprotection standards. It features LED lamps for clear visibility, electrical feeding sockets, and a BMI sliding shield with a glass window for protection. Precise pressure gauges continuously monitor filter obstruction, ensuring optimal performance and safety. The work area is constructed from AISI 316L stainless steel with arc-welded joints, providing a durable and clean workspace. The unit includes absolute and active charcoal filters in barrier bag housings for safe replacements. Lead shielding, 50 mm thick, enhances safety on the worktop, outer walls, and sliding protection. Connections for technical gases and electric sockets are conveniently available within the work area. Designed to safely manage volatile liquids or gases, this hood is suitable for laboratories requiring secure and compliant handling of medium activity radioactive substances.
