Fume hood for handling medium activity radioisotopes
Ensure safety and precision in your laboratory processes with a fume hood designed specifically for the manipulation of medium activity radioisotopes, providing essential containment and shielding to protect personnel and product integrity during critical applications.
Filters and Shields Radioactive Substances in Laboratories
The FHR1 50 hood from Comecer is a specialized containment solution designed for the manipulation and filtration of medium activity radioactive substances in radiopharmaceutical and nuclear medicine settings. Constructed from robust AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch-BriteTM finish, it ensures compliance with radioprotection standards while offering adjustable levelling for stable positioning. This equipment integrates advanced shielding with a lead thickness of 50 mm across key areas, providing reliable protection during operations. It effectively filters airborne contaminants with absolute and active charcoal filters, housed in a barrier bag for safe replacements. The hood is equipped with technical gas inlets, LED lighting, and pressure gauges, ensuring operational precision and safety. Applications span radiopharmaceutical processing to hospital pharmacy compounding, where it facilitates the handling of volatile gases and liquids like Iodine-131 and Technetium-99m. With the option for customization, including additional lead ducting, it offers tailored solutions to meet specific laboratory requirements.
