Shielded radiochemistry fume hood
Enhance your lab’s safety and efficiency with a fume hood designed for precise handling of radiochemistry. Ideal for managing medium-activity substances, it offers robust lead shielding and laminar flow, ensuring both protection and high-quality output in critical radiopharmaceutical processes.

Filters and Shields Radiochemistry Processes
The FHR1 50 LAF Shielded Radiochemistry Laminar Flow Fume Hood by Comecer is engineered for safe handling of medium activity radiochemicals in nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceutical labs. This equipment features a laminar air flow system with HEPA and charcoal filtration to ensure containment and purity of manipulation processes involving radiolabeled gases and liquids, such as Fludeoxyglucose (FDG) and Iodine-131.
Designed with AISI 316L stainless steel and incorporating 50 mm of lead shielding throughout key surfaces, the fume hood offers robust protection against radioactive exposure. Its lead glass window facilitates safe visual supervision of operations.
Integration of a bag-in bag-out system allows for secure and straightforward filter changes, while on-board gauges provide real-time monitoring of air quality and filter status, aligning with ECC-GMP directive flow speed requirements. Ideal for laboratory scale operations, the FHR1 50 LAF ensures compliance with strict cleaning and contamination control standards, supporting research, production, and safety in radiopharmaceutical environments.
