Shielded laminar flow isolator for nuclear medicine

Ensure sterility and safety in radiopharmaceutical preparation with a laminar flow isolator that offers precise isolation and manipulation of sensitive isotopes, supporting compliance with cGMP standards while enhancing operational efficiency in nuclear medicine processes.

Calibrates and Dispenses Radiopharmaceuticals Safely

The ELENA Shielded Laminar Flow Isolator from Comecer is designed for precision and safety in radiopharmaceutical processing. Featuring a modular design and advanced automation, ELENA ensures the sterile calibration and dispensing of isotopes such as Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and Iodine-131. Its air filtration and flexible configuration make it a robust solution for nuclear medicine departments and radiopharmacy facilities. With an integrated dose calibration system and seamless material transfer via ventilated pre-chambers, ELENA supports efficient and safe operations. The isolator is constructed with AISI 316L stainless steel for enhanced durability and resistance, complying with cGMP standards for pharmaceutical applications. It also includes automated pressure adjustments and a particle counter connection, promoting ease of maintenance and consistency in performance.
