Radioisotope handling fume cupboard

laboratoryfor nuclear medicinefloor-standing

Overview
The internal working chamber is manufactured from single-piece formed 316 grade stainless steel with radius corners, creating a crevice-free and mastic-free environment that is simple to decontaminate. Units are supplied in standard dimensions or can be custom-made to project requirements. Designed for safe handling of radioisotopes in laboratory and nuclear medicine settings.

Key Features
