Applications
One cabinet family across Tc-99m, F-18, Ga-68, Lu-177 and I-131 dispensing workflows
Tc-99m generator elution + kit dispensing
Daily Tc-99m kit reconstitution and dispensing inside a lead-shielded enclosure at the routine SPECT tier. Generator compartment variant houses the Tc-99m generator inside the cabinet; the dispensing line runs alongside without separate room shielding.
F-18 PET dose dispensing
Per-patient [18F]FDG / [18F]NaF unit-dose dispensing from a transport vial. Mid-tier shielding plus the optional Capintec-type lead rings cover the 511 keV annihilation line at typical PET unit-dose activities.
Lu-177 + Ga-68 theranostic dispensing
Heavier-tier shielding option for theranostic dispensing programmes — Lu-177 DOTATATE / PSMA-617 and Ga-68 generator elution. PLC + body-shield premium build adds operator-side dose-rate management for routine high-activity dispensing.
I-131 capsule + solution handling
I-131 capsule dispense and oral-solution decant — sterile-compounding-grade filter pack captures volatile radioiodine on the exhaust before site-stack release.
In-cabinet dose-calibrator workflow
Dose-calibrator ionisation-chamber-mount variant integrates an end-user-supplied dose calibrator inside the cabinet, with the display mounted externally. Removes a separate dispensing-bench footprint from the hot-lab fit-out.
AERB inspection-ready hot-lab fit-out
Lockable cabinet, factory face-velocity certificate, daily anemometer log (when anemometer is fitted) and the AERB compliance paperwork pack — the cabinet ships ready for first-inspection sign-off and slots into the routine inspection dossier thereafter.
Why Saxsons Lead-Lined Fume Hood?
AERB Safety Code for Nuclear Medicine Facility expects a minimum face velocity at the sash opening on dispensing fume hoods. Every Saxsons-built cabinet ships with a factory-issued face-velocity certificate at the time of shipping, and the optional hot-wire anemometer keeps the operator within spec day to day.
Routine Tc-99m kit dispensing, mid-activity F-18 / Ga-68 / Lu-177 dispensing and theranostic high-activity prep each pick a different shielding tier. One cabinet family covers the whole NM activity range — choose the shielding tier for the workflow, not for the whole department.
Designed and built in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. Local manufacture cuts lead times, local engineering means site-specific build sheets, and the AERB compliance paperwork lands first time because the build is documented to the AERB framework.

FAQ
Lead-lined fume hood, hot-lab containment, AERB face velocity — questions we hear from Indian radiopharmacy teams
Why chemistry-grade fume hoods are not enough for radioactive work, how to pick the right lead thickness for your isotope mix, how the AMCA + AERB face-velocity certification fits the AERB dossier, and what the variant matrix covers.
Q.Why does a nuclear-medicine hot lab need a specialised fume hood rather than a standard chemistry fume hood?
A standard chemistry fume hood pulls chemical vapour up and out — it does nothing about ionising radiation. A radiopharmacy hot lab handles Tc-99m, F-18, Ga-68, I-131 and Lu-177 sources at diagnostic and therapy doses, so the workstation has to combine two independent controls in one enclosure: containment (HEPA + activated carbon capture of radioactive aerosol) and shielding (lead thickness rated for the highest-energy photon on the bench). A lead-lined fume hood is the engineered control that fulfils both.
Q.How is the right lead thickness for a given hot-lab picked?
Lead thickness is picked against the isotope mix the department dispenses. 3 mm Pb covers routine Tc-99m SPECT (140 keV). 5–6 mm covers Ga-67 / In-111 mid-energy work. 10–12 mm is the tier for 511 keV PET (F-18 / Ga-68) and I-131 therapy. The Saxsons fume-hood family carries five shielding tiers (3 / 5 / 6 / 10 / 12 mm Pb) so the department picks the tier that matches its actual isotope workload rather than paying for shielding it does not need.
Q.What problem does the AMCA-certified fan + AERB face-velocity certification solve?
AERB Safety Code for Nuclear Medicine Facility requires the fume-hood face velocity to sit at 0.5 m/s ± tolerance for the containment claim to hold — outside that window, aerosol capture drops off. AMCA-certified fans deliver flow within the specification window across the operating life of the hood, and every Saxsons hood ships with a face-velocity certification traceable to the shipping test — the department has the AERB inspection-ready document from day one.
Q.What variant configurations does the fume-hood family support?
The variant matrix covers 9 frame sizes (compact through large premium), 5 lead-shielding tiers (3 / 5 / 6 / 10 / 12 mm), 2 work-zone material grades (SS-202 standard / SS-304 medical), 2 filter packs (activated carbon or HEPA + UV), and accessory options — anemometer, negative-pressure PLC, body shield, dose-calibrator ionisation-chamber mount, gamma-probe mount, Capintec-type lead rings, generator and waste compartments. The full matrix locks into a per-site IQ / OQ / PQ build sheet at order.
Q.Is this a distributor-supplied hood or Saxsons-manufactured?
The Lead-Lined Fume Hood family is a Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. Not a rebadged import; the shielding tiers, work-zone materials, filter packs and accessory options are engineered specifically for the workload and hot-lab footprint constraints of Indian NM departments.
