Lead-Lined Sink and Waste Cabinet
Integrated sink, cold storage, and shielded waste handling cabinet designed to support efficient workflows and radiation protection in nuclear medicine hot labs.
Key features and benefits
Stainless steel sink – provides convenient access to running water within the hot lab
Cold storage area beneath sink – uses under-sink space efficiently for non-radioactive storage
Lead barrier separation – isolates sink and storage areas from the radioactive waste section
Shielded waste section – supports controlled storage of radioactive waste
Shielded waste port – allows waste to be deposited directly while limiting radiation exposure
Polyethylene waste container compatibility – supports waste storage prior to decay and disposal
Stainless steel cabinet construction – supports durability, corrosion resistance, and cleanability
Product overview
The lead-lined sink and waste cabinet is designed to perform three essential functions within nuclear medicine hot labs. First, the integrated stainless steel sink provides convenient access to running water, supporting routine preparation and cleanup tasks. Below the sink, the cabinet offers cold storage space, allowing efficient use of the available footprint.
Next, a dedicated waste section is separated from the sink area by a lead barrier. This separation helps manage radiation exposure while maintaining clear functional zones within the cabinet. The waste section includes a shielded port that allows radioactive waste to be dropped directly into a polyethylene container for storage until decay.
As a result, the cabinet supports efficient workflows by combining sink access, storage, and shielded waste handling in a single unit. It is intended to be used as part of a broader radiation protection and waste management strategy and should be coordinated with surrounding shielding elements and room layout. It supports safe practices but does not replace room-level shielding requirements.
When to use this product
Use this cabinet when:
A sink with running water is required inside the hot lab
Cold storage is needed directly below the sink area
Radioactive waste must be collected through a shielded access point
Sink and waste handling functions must be combined in one cabinet
Radiation protection is required at the waste collection location
