Lead-Lined Decay and Storage Cabinet
Combined shielded storage for radioisotopes and decaying radioactive materials, designed to support organized handling and radiation protection in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy environments.
Key features and benefits
Dual-function cabinet design – separates active radioisotope storage from decaying material storage within a single unit
Shielded storage drawers – allow secure storage and organization of radioisotopes
Removable drawer construction – simplifies cleaning and decontamination when drawers are unlocked
Dedicated decay cupboard section – provides enclosed storage for decaying radioactive materials
Two heavy-duty adjustable shelves in decay section – support flexible storage of waste containers and materials
Lead-lined cabinet body – provides radiation shielding for stored materials
- Customizable internal configuration – allows drawer and shelf layouts to be modified to facilitate storage needs. Lead shielding available in 0.25", 0.5", and 1"thickness on all six sides.
Product overview
The lead-lined decay and storage cabinet is designed to perform two distinct functions within nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy operations. The upper drawer section is intended for the organized storage of radioisotopes, while the lower cupboard section is dedicated to the storage of decaying radioactive materials.
The cabinet features a steel enclosure with integrated radiation shielding to support safe handling and storage practices. Storage drawers are designed to be easily removed when unlocked, allowing for cleaning and decontamination as part of routine laboratory maintenance. The decay cupboard includes two heavy-duty adjustable shelves, accommodating a range of containers and boxed materials used during decay and waste staging.
This cabinet is typically installed as part of a broader radiation protection and waste management strategy and should be coordinated with surrounding shielding elements, room layouts, and access controls. It is intended to support safe storage and decay workflows rather than replace room-level shielding requirements.
When to use this product
Use this cabinet when:
Radioisotopes and decaying materials must be stored separately within one cabinet
Shielded drawer storage is required for active radioisotopes
Decaying radioactive waste requires enclosed, shielded storage
Storage units must support cleaning and decontamination routines
Radiation protection is needed at both active storage and decay stages
