Saxsons Tungsten Vial ShieldThree-Tier Family — SPECT · Routine PET (3-part) · High-Activity PET (2-part)
Saxsons own-brand tungsten-alloy vial shield family — high-density, compact-chassis shielding for the dispensing bench. Three tiers cover SPECT routine dispensing (slide lock), routine PET dispensing (3-part body + lid + magnetic top cap) and high-activity PET / Lu-177 theranostic dispensing (2-part cap + base). Tungsten's high atomic number and high density deliver high per-millimetre attenuation — the chassis wall stays thin, the chassis stays small and light, the operator works through high-throughput PET shifts with less hand fatigue. Designed and manufactured in India in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. Sign in to view the complete configuration matrix.
Key Features
- Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant
- Three tungsten tiers cover SPECT routine work, routine PET dispensing and high-activity PET / Lu-177 theranostic dispensing
- High atomic number and high density deliver high attenuation per millimetre of shielding wall — the chassis stays smaller and lighter
- 3-part construction on the routine PET tier — body holds the vial, lid carries the needle hole, magnetic top cap closes the needle access; quick-release ergonomics for high-throughput dispensing
- 2-part construction on the high-activity tier — separate cap and base for easy vial loading and unloading; shielded cap carries the needle hole on top

Applications
Six worked dispensing workflows the family covers — pick the tier for the isotope and the throughput
Tc-99m kit dispensing — bench-ergonomic option
SPECT-tier tungsten shield where the radiopharmacist wants the lighter, more compact chassis. Slide-lock closure for fast cycle time on cold-kit dispensing.
[18F]FDG and PET unit doses
Routine-PET 3-part tungsten tier with magnetic top cap. The body holds the vial; the lid carries the needle hole; the magnetic top cap closes the needle access. Per-dispense, the operator pulls the top cap off magnetically, withdraws the dose, drops the cap back. The cap never leaves the shield surface.
Ga-68 PET tracer dispensing
Routine-PET 3-part tungsten tier (same as FDG). Per-generator elution + DOTATATE / DOTATOC / PSMA-11 labelling + patient-dose dispensing. Magnetic top cap closure matches the PET FDG line.
High-activity PET source vial
High-activity 2-part tungsten tier for high-activity multi-dose source vials. The separate cap and base allow vial loading without rotating a screw-cap — important when the source vial sits on the bench for hours during the dispensing campaign and needs to be reopened for re-dispensing.
Lu-177 theranostic dispensing
High-activity 2-part tungsten tier for Lu-177 DOTATATE / PSMA-617 / FAPI theranostic dispensing. The high-activity tier delivers high per-millimetre attenuation for the annihilation-photon line in a compact chassis.
High-throughput PET radiopharmacy
Per-shift dispense count drives cumulative chassis-weight load on the operator wrist. The tungsten family delivers high per-millimetre attenuation in a measurably lighter chassis — the wrist-load delta over a 30-dispense shift is real on the operator-fatigue log.
Why Saxsons Tungsten Vial Shield?
A single vial-shield family whose tungsten tier ladder spans SPECT routine dispensing, routine PET and high-activity PET / Lu-177 theranostic work. Same brand, same accessory options, same documentation dossier across the ladder — the dispensing bench looks familiar regardless of the workflow.
The routine-PET tier uses a three-part construction — body, lid with needle hole, magnetic top cap. Per dispense, only the top cap moves; the lid stays put on the body; the body stays put on the bench. The needle hole stays aligned to the vial septum; the operator never re-aligns the cap to the vial mid-shift. Three-part is the engineered match between dispensing ergonomics and shielding integrity.
The high-activity tier uses a two-part construction — separate cap and base. Vial loading happens by lifting the cap straight off the base; no rotation, no thread engagement. For the high-activity source-vial workflow where the vial gets re-opened multiple times across the dispensing campaign, the cap-off motion stays simple and the cap stays clean.
