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?

One family

SPECT through Lu-177

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.

Magnetic top cap

PET dispensing ergonomics

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.

Made in India

ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 plant

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.

Knowledge Hub

Why a vial-shield family needs a full tier ladder — and what each isotope picks

How the shielding-tier ladder maps onto the SPECT, I-131, PET and Lu-177 energy range, why magnetic top-cap closures matter for the PET dispensing line, what the β/γ hybrid inner layer adds for Y-90 and Lu-177, and how the AERB extremity-dose framework reads off the per-batch certificate pack.

Variant matrix

Pick the use case, the Pb tier, the closure

Eight worked dispensing configurations across the shielding-tier ladder and five closure styles. The per-workflow build sheet matches the tier to the isotope-energy ladder, the closure to the dispensing-line throughput, and the Accessories Matrix to the operator-ergonomics expectation.

Use case	Pb tier	Closure	Vial	Notes
SPECT dispensing (Tc-99m, MDP / MIBI / ECD / MAG3 / DMSA)	6 mm Pb	Slide lock	30 cc	Routine cold-kit dispensing tier; optional lead-glass viewing window
SPECT dispensing with lead-glass window	6 mm Pb	Slide lock	32 cc	Engraved calibration scale; operator reads vial volume without breaking shielding
I-131 therapy (oral capsule / solution)	12 mm Pb	Slide lock	30 cc	Steps up to 12 mm for the 364 keV I-131 photopeak; pairs with shielded carrier for transport to therapy room

High-activity PET / Lu-177 theranostic	50 mm Pb	Thread + magnetic top cap	30 cc	High-activity multi-dose source-vial dispensing; brings dose-rate at the operator surface down further
Storage (residual-activity vials)	9.5 / 10 mm Pb	Thread turn lock	30 cc	Post-dispense storage of residual-activity vials before decay or return
Transportation lead pot	40 mm Pb	Pin turn lock	30 cc	Transport-grade pot for inter-room / inter-site transit; positive locking mechanism
Beta–gamma hybrid (Y-90, Lu-177 β contribution)	6 mm Pb + 6 mm Perspex	Thread turn lock	30 / 68 cc	Perspex / acrylic inner layer attenuates β before the lead absorbs the bremsstrahlung-secondary gamma

Closure styles

Slide Lock	SPECT routine dispensing; fast vial access
Thread Turn Lock	Storage tier and β/γ hybrid; positive locking for higher residual activity
Pin Turn Lock	Transport pot; tamper-evident positive locking for inter-site transit
Thread + Magnetic Top Cap	PET builds; magnetic quick-release on the needle hole for high-throughput dispensing
Thread + Rotating Cap	Dispensing tiers where the operator adjusts the dispense-needle position around the vial geometry

Accessories Matrix

Lead-glass viewing window with engraved calibration scale	Operator reads vial volume through the shield; no open-close cycle per dispense; matched lead-equivalent so the window doesn't become the weak point
Magnetic top cap on the needle hole	One-touch open / close for needle access; reduces per-dispense extremity exposure on PET high-throughput lines
Saxsons brand mark + size designation engraving	Inventory tracking; prevents wrong-shield pick-up at the dispensing bench
Carry handle (transport-pot variant)	Two-handed lift on the transport pot; positioned for balanced load with vial in place
Anti-slip base	Stable footprint on the dispensing bench; resists vibration from adjacent equipment
Calibration certificate per consignment	Per-batch certification; AERB inspection-ready documentation
Custom vial-geometry inserts	Bespoke insert when the vial geometry differs from the standard PET / SPECT range; commissioned per-customer at site IQ
ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 quality-record pack	Per-batch quality records ship with every consignment; supports the AERB inspection dossier and the GMP file

Per-batch lead-thickness certificate and lead-glass thickness certificate (where fitted) ship with every consignment. Custom vial-geometry inserts and bespoke engraving are configurable on request and locked at site IQ / OQ.
