Radiochemistry fume hood
Managing hazardous chemicals and radioactive substances in a laboratory requires dedicated containment solutions. These environments necessitate equipment that ensures both user safety and contamination control, while accommodating the specific needs of radiochemistry applications.
Ensures safe handling of radioactive materials
The FHR Radiochemistry Fume Hood by Comecer is designed for secure management of hazardous and radioactive chemicals in laboratory settings. Constructed entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel and finished with Scotch-Brite™, it features arc-welded joints and a hardened structure for durability. A raised edge worktop prevents spills, while the front closure utilizes an acrylic glass slide for visibility and safety. Integrated fluid and electrical controls on a stainless steel instrument panel enhance usability. Airflow is optimized by a double-walled aspiration system with a controlled by-pass, achieving a frontal speed of 50 cm/sec. The filtration system includes absolute and activated carbon filters, ensuring effective contaminant removal. The hood allows safe replacement of filters via a canister system. Liquid and solid waste management is facilitated through controlled discharge systems for both types, each supported by a 20-liter polyethylene container. Electrical components comply with CEI standards, incorporating features like remote-controlled hot/cold water adjustment and foot-operated water flow controls to limit contamination risks. The fume hood is ideal for use in radiopharmaceutical laboratories, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational safety.
