Product Overview
Shielded nuclear pharmacy fume hoods are designed for radiopharmacy environments where both ventilation and radiation protection are required during the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. These cabinets combine laboratory fume extraction with integrated lead shielding to support safe isotope handling within nuclear medicine departments.
The hood protects personnel from both airborne contaminants and radiation exposure generated during dose preparation. Lead-lined panels and lead glass viewing windows allow technicians to perform compounding tasks while maintaining visibility and protection.
These systems are commonly installed in nuclear medicine hot labs, PET radiopharmacies, and research laboratories where radioactive materials must be handled in controlled environments. Custom configurations allow facilities to integrate shielding thickness, dose calibrator mounts, and workflow accessories based on operational requirements.
