Shielded cell for radiopharmaceutical synthesis

Ensure operator safety and seamless radiopharmaceutical synthesis with advanced containment and radioprotection technology designed to handle high-energy isotopes efficiently.

Provides Radioprotection and Containment in Synthesis Processes

The Shielded Cells for Synthesis Modules Model MIP from Comecer offer specialized radioprotection and containment solutions for radiopharmaceutical manufacturing and nuclear medicine research. These modular cells are designed to host and protect automated synthesis modules, safeguarding operators and environments from high-energy gamma emissions. With lead shielding up to 100 mm thick, the MIP cells accommodate a range of isotopes, including Technetium-99m to Lutetium-177. Featuring a sealed, negative pressure work chamber equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen, you can monitor and trace critical parameters effortlessly. Built for compliance with cGMP guidelines, this system includes Class B “At rest” air quality and comes standard with a pneumatic elevator for precise isotope calibration. Integration is streamlined with flexible configurations for tele-manipulators and side autoclaves, while airtight connections and stainless steel fluid lines ensure robust contamination control. The MIP series also excels in ease of maintenance, with options for automatic leak testing and removable trays to enhance cleaning processes. Tailored to meet specialized operational needs, this adaptive solution is ideal for radiopharmaceutical, nuclear medicine, and research and development environments.
