Applications
Six worked dispensing workflows the family covers — pick the tier for the isotope
Tc-99m kit dispensing — SPECT workhorse
SPECT-tier shielding in the stainless-steel outer with optional lead-glass viewing window. Daily MDP, MIBI, ECD, MAG3 and DMSA dispensing. Slide-lock closure for fast vial access; the engraved calibration scale lets the operator read the vial volume through the window before withdrawing the dose.
I-131 therapy capsule + oral solution
Stepped-up shielding tier for I-131 (364 keV) capsule decant and bulk oral-solution withdrawal — matched to the I-131 photopeak.
[18F]FDG and other PET unit doses
PET-tier shielding with thread + magnetic top cap. Routine FDG dispensing at 511 keV; magnetic closure gives one-touch needle access for the high-throughput PET line. Pairs with the Saxsons Dose Cabinet on the same bench.
High-activity PET source vials + Lu-177 prep
Reinforced-shielding tier for high-activity multi-dose source vials and Lu-177 (DOTATATE / PSMA-617) theranostic dispensing. Same magnetic top-cap closure.
Inter-room transit + inter-site transport
Transport-pot tier with pin-turn lock. Positive locking for tamper-evident transit; painted outer keeps the transport-only build cost lower than the dispensing chassis.
β/γ hybrid for Y-90 and Lu-177 β contribution
Hybrid configuration with an inner attenuator layer inside the lead outer. The inner layer absorbs β before it reaches the lead; the lead absorbs the bremsstrahlung-secondary γ. Pairs with the larger vial capacity for high-volume β/γ work.
Why Saxsons Lead Vial Shield?
A single vial-shield family whose shielding-tier ladder spans the whole nuclear-medicine activity spectrum. Operator picks the tier per isotope — Tc-99m at the light end, high-activity PET and Lu-177 at the heavy end. Same outer chassis, same accessory options across the ladder, so the dispensing bench looks familiar regardless of the workflow.
A magnetic top cap on the needle hole gives one-touch open / close. On a busy PET shift the cumulative cap-cycle time savings are real — but the larger benefit is that the operator never has the cap fully off the shield, so the per-dispense exposure stays at the shielded surface even mid-dispense.
Designed and manufactured in India at Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.'s New Delhi facility. Per-batch certification and ISO quality-record pack ship with every consignment; the AERB inspection dossier and GMP file references are anchored on the ISO-approved production line.

FAQ
Lead vial shielding — questions we hear from Indian NM and theranostics teams
Why a generic lead pot isn't enough for a working vial, how to pick the right Pb thickness per isotope, why Lu-177 / Y-90 β + γ work needs a hybrid Pb + Perspex build, and how the closure style affects the dispensing bench.
Q.What problem does a dedicated vial shield solve that a generic lead pot doesn't?
A generic lead pot holds the vial but doesn't let the radiopharmacist read the volume, withdraw with a syringe, or verify the seal without breaking containment. A dedicated vial shield holds the vial in a fixed geometry with a lead-glass side window (so the volume and label are visible), a septum-friendly cap (so the syringe needle can withdraw without opening the shield), and per-isotope Pb thickness sized to the photon energy actually being handled. The workflow finishes without lifting the vial out of the shield, so the dose stays low.
Q.Which lead thickness matches which isotope workflow?
The Saxsons Lead Vial Shield family covers seven Pb tiers: 6 mm for routine SPECT (Tc-99m at 140 keV), 9.5 / 10 mm for higher-throughput SPECT and short-term storage, 12 mm for I-131 therapy dispensing (364 keV), 30 mm for routine PET (F-18 / Ga-68 at 511 keV), 40 mm for the transport lead pot, and 50 mm for high-activity PET and Lu-177 therapeutic doses. Picking the tier against your isotope mix keeps the shield ergonomic on the bench without over-shielding routine work.
Q.What is the beta + gamma hybrid variant for?
Lu-177, Y-90 and other β-emitting therapy isotopes emit both beta particles and gamma photons. Beta shielding wants a low-Z material (Perspex / PMMA) on the inside to avoid bremsstrahlung production; gamma shielding wants a high-Z material (lead) on the outside. The β + γ hybrid variant uses a Perspex inner liner inside a lead outer wall — beta stops in the Perspex without producing bremsstrahlung, gamma is attenuated by the lead. The correct shielding architecture for Lu-177 PRRT and Y-90 microspheres dispensing.
Q.Which closure style should be picked for which workflow?
Slide closure — fastest for high-throughput SPECT dispensing. Thread turn — the routine PET / SPECT default with positive seal verification. Pin turn — indexed positive lock for high-activity PET. Magnetic top cap — one-handed opening on the dispensing bench without a physical latch, useful when the technologist is holding the syringe in the other hand. Rotating cap — slow-open with sensory feedback for I-131 therapy dispensing where the technologist wants to verify seal position before removing.
Q.Is this a distributor-supplied shield or Saxsons-manufactured?
The Lead Vial Shield family is a Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. under SKU NM-034. The seven-Pb-tier ladder, five closure styles, vial capacities (15 / 30 / 32 / 68 cc), engraved calibration scale, optional lead-glass viewing window and β+γ hybrid variant are engineered specifically for the vial-handling and dispensing workflows of Indian NM and theranostics departments.
