Saxsons Dose CabinetAll-in-One Hot Lab Workstation
One self-shielded cabinet that holds the four primitives of a nuclear-medicine hot lab — dose calibrator, L bench, sharps container shield, and a tungsten-shielded PET dose dispenser. Compact, lockable, and built in India for Indian NM departments by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.
Key Features
- Integrated dose calibrator station with ionisation-chamber well and digital readout (PET/SPECT/I-131 isotope library compatible)
- L bench — L-shaped lead-shielded operator workstation that puts a shielded barrier between the radiopharmacist and the source vial during draw-up
- Sharps container shield — recessed lead-lined receptacle for spent syringes and vials, kept inside the cabinet during decay storage
- Dose Dispenser station with tungsten vial shield for PET (511 keV); optional configurations for SPECT (Tc-99m, 140 keV) and Iodine (I-131, 364 keV)
- Stainless steel work surface with a 0.5″ raised spill-proof lip — contains accidental spills inside the dispensing area

Applications
One workstation for PET, SPECT, and I-131 hot lab dispensing across Indian nuclear-medicine departments
PET hot lab dispensing workstation
Primary use case — the tungsten vial shield on the dispenser is sized for the 511 keV annihilation photons of F-18 and Ga-68. The L bench gives the radiopharmacist a shielded workspace for draw-up; the integrated dose calibrator confirms activity before each patient injection.
SPECT (Tc-99m) hot lab workstation
With the lead vial shield variant, the same cabinet runs as the Tc-99m dispensing station for daily SPECT bone scans, myocardial perfusion, renal and thyroid imaging studies. The dose calibrator switches to the Tc-99m isotope channel; the L bench shielding is sized for 140 keV.
I-131 therapy dispensing
I-131 capsule and liquid handling — the cabinet provides a contained dispensing environment with the lead vial shield option for the higher-energy 364 keV gamma. The lockable lower cabinet is the controlled-access storage point between dispensing and patient administration.
New nuclear-medicine hot lab fit-out
For an Indian hospital opening its first nuclear medicine department, the Dose Cabinet is a single-decision answer to the four primitives a hot lab needs — dose calibrator, dispensing bench, sharps decay storage, and shielded dispensing. One capital line replaces four separate workstation purchases.
Existing hot lab consolidation
A hot lab that has accumulated separate calibrator stations, bench shields, sharps bins and dispenser shields across the room can consolidate into the Dose Cabinet — recovers floor space, reduces operator movement between stations, and gives the radiopharmacy a single audit-clean dispensing surface.
AERB-compliant Indian hot lab
The Saxsons Dose Cabinet sits inside the AERB Safety Code for Nuclear Medicine Facility licensing framework. Saxsons supplies the engineered-control documentation an Indian NM department needs to cite during AERB site approval.
Why the Saxsons Dose Cabinet?
A single unit to meet dispensing and dose preparation requirements in the hot lab. The four primitives a hot lab needs — dose calibrator, L bench, sharps shield, dispenser — already integrated. The radiopharmacy team gets one validated workstation instead of four separately specified pieces.
Designed for the typical Indian NM hot lab where floor space is tight. The integrated form factor frees floor area that separate stations would consume — useful when the hot lab is being carved out of an existing imaging suite.
The design puts the dose calibrator, dispensing point and sharps shield within one arm-reach loop. The radiopharmacist prepares the dose without moving between stations — reducing time-at-source and giving the dosimetry team a more compact ALARA argument.
The cabinet is fully shielded by design and does not require additional shielding around it to operate safely. The room shielding decision is made for the broader hot lab environment, not to compensate for the workstation's own protection — which simplifies the AERB licensing dossier and the architectural fit-out.

FAQ
Hot-lab workstation, dispensing bench, AERB fit-out — questions we hear from Indian NM teams
Why four separate primitives consume most of a small NM room, how the self-shielded design fits into an AERB dossier, which SPECT and PET workflows the cabinet handles, and what Saxsons own-brand means for supply and support.
Q.What is the real problem in an Indian nuclear-medicine hot lab that the Dose Cabinet fixes?
A typical NM hot lab needs four separate primitives — a dose calibrator, an L-bench dispensing surface, a sharps container shield, and a tungsten vial shield for PET dose drawing. Bought individually they occupy four benchtops, four floor plates and four shielded compartments; in a 60–100 sq ft Indian NM room that is 60–70 % of the usable footprint before the technologist has even sat down. The Dose Cabinet integrates all four into one self-shielded workstation that occupies one bench, one floor plate.
Q.Does the cabinet's self-shielding remove the need for additional room shielding around it?
The cabinet is fully shielded by design and does not require additional shielding around it to operate safely. Room shielding is still specified for the broader hot-lab environment (walls, doors, waste storage) under the AERB Safety Code for Nuclear Medicine Facility, but the workstation itself does not add a shielding requirement to the room drawings — which simplifies the AERB licensing dossier and the architectural fit-out for a new NM department.
Q.Which radioisotope workflows does the Dose Cabinet handle?
Both SPECT and PET dispensing. The integrated dose calibrator reads any diagnostic isotope activity (Tc-99m for SPECT, F-18 / Ga-68 / Lu-177 for PET/theranostics, I-131 for thyroid). The tungsten-shielded PET dose dispenser handles 511 keV positron emitters (F-18, Ga-68) at typical clinical patient doses. The L bench + sharps compartment cover the routine SPECT dispensing workflow.
Q.Is this a distributor-supplied cabinet or a Saxsons-manufactured product?
The Dose Cabinet is a Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. This is not a rebadged import. The stainless-steel work surface (0.5″ spill-proof lip), lockable storage compartments, integrated shielding and the four-primitive layout are engineered specifically for the workflow and footprint constraints of Indian NM hot labs.
Q.What Indian regulatory framework does the cabinet sit inside?
The Dose Cabinet sits inside the AERB Safety Code for Nuclear Medicine Facility licensing framework combined with the Atomic Energy (Radiation Protection) Rules 2004. Saxsons supplies the engineered-control documentation and specification sheets that an Indian NM department needs to cite during AERB site approval — the cabinet itself is the engineered control that shields the dispensing bench.
