Lead-Lined Waste and Storage Cabinet
Combined shielded storage cabinet designed to separate radioisotope drawer storage from non-sharps radioactive waste handling in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy environments.
Key features and benefits
Dual-function cabinet design – separates radioisotope storage from radioactive waste collection within one unit
Shielded storage drawers – allow secure storage and organization of radioisotopes
Removable drawer construction – supports cleaning and decontamination as part of routine maintenance
Dedicated waste cupboard section – provides enclosed storage for non-sharps radioactive waste
Shielded waste port – allows waste to be deposited while limiting radiation exposure
16-gallon polyethylene waste container – supports staged collection prior to decay and disposal
Lead-lined cabinet body – provides radiation shielding for both stored isotopes and waste
Product overview
The lead-lined waste and storage cabinet is designed to perform two distinct functions within nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy operations. The drawer section allows radioisotopes to be stored in an organized, shielded manner, while the lower cupboard section is dedicated to the storage of non-sharps radioactive waste.
Storage drawers are designed to be easily removed when unlocked, supporting cleaning and decontamination procedures in controlled environments. The waste cupboard includes a shielded port that allows materials to be deposited directly into a 16-gallon polyethylene container, reducing the need to open the cabinet during routine waste handling.
This cabinet is intended to be used as part of a broader radiation protection and waste management strategy and should be coordinated with surrounding shielding elements, room layout, and access controls. It supports safe handling and storage practices but does not replace room-level shielding requirements.
When to use this product
Use this cabinet when:
Radioisotopes and non-sharps radioactive waste must be stored separately
Shielded drawer storage is required for active radioisotopes
Non-sharps waste must be deposited through a shielded access point
Storage units must support decontamination and routine maintenance
Radiation protection is needed at both storage and waste collection stages
