Shielded Biological Safety Cabinets (BSC12 Series) for Nuclear Medicine & Radiopharmacy
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lead Glass Pro supplies the **BSC12 Shielded Biological Safety Cabinet series**, combining full Class II biological containment with integrated lead radiation shielding. These cabinets are engineered specifically for **nuclear medicine departments, PET radiopharmacies, hot labs, cyclotron facilities, and research centers** that handle radioactive materials in a sterile environment.

By integrating HEPA-filtered biological protection with configurable lead shielding, Shielded BSCs allow your staff to safely prepare, fractionate, and quality-control radiopharmaceuticals while meeting both **radiation-safety** and **infection-control** requirements.

* * *

Why Choose a Shielded Biological Safety Cabinet?
------------------------------------------------

*   **Dual protection:** Class II airflow and HEPA filtration for biological containment, plus lead shielding for gamma radiation attenuation.
*   **Purpose-built for radiopharmacy:** Designed around PET, SPECT, and cyclotron workflows – dose preparation, QC testing, and generator handling.
*   **Configurable shielding:** Multiple lead thickness options for the working area, generator bay, waste bin, and dose calibrator compartment.
*   **Regulatory support:** Helps facilities comply with radiation-safety guidelines (NCRP / IAEA), aseptic compounding requirements, and pharmacy clean-room standards.
*   **Efficient layouts:** Integrated compartments reduce the need for separate shielded furniture, freeing up floor space and simplifying validation.

**Ideal buyers:** hospital purchasing managers, radiopharmacy directors, RSO’s, cyclotron managers, and imaging-center administrators who need a proven, vendor-supported solution rather than custom one-off cabinetry.

* * *

Typical Applications
--------------------

*   Preparation and dispensing of **PET radiopharmaceuticals** (e.g., FDG and other short-lived isotopes).
*   **SPECT & nuclear medicine** dose compounding and quality control.
*   **Cyclotron target processing**, generator elution, and sample handling.
*   **Research laboratories** performing radiolabeling, preclinical tracer development, or multi-isotope studies.
*   Any facility requiring **BSL-2 biological containment** plus significant gamma shielding in the same workstation.

* * *

Flexible Sizes for Any Hot Lab Layout

Configurable Lead Shielding – Work Area & Compartments
------------------------------------------------------

The BSC12 series allows you to specify lead thickness independently for each shielded zone. This ensures enough protection where you need it most, without over-specifying the entire cabinet.

### Working Area Shielding Options

*   5mm Pb
*   10mm Pb
*   20mm Pb
*   30mm Pb
*   50mm Pb

### Optional Shielded Compartments

*   **Generator Compartment** – choose from 25mm, 50mm, or 75mm Pb for housing PET or SPECT generators safely beneath the work surface.
*   **Dose Calibrator Compartment** – 10, 20, or 50mm Pb around the chamber to reduce stray exposure to technologists.
*   **Waste Bin Compartment** – 10, 20, or 30mm Pb for temporary storage of contaminated disposables.
*   **Lead-Glass Viewing Window** – matched lead equivalence (5–50mm Pb eq.) for clear, shielded visibility into the work zone.

All shielded sections use **high-density lead** and **stainless-steel linings** for durability, decontamination, and long service life.

* * *

How the BSC12-X-XX-XXXXX Product Code Works
-------------------------------------------

The product code structure below helps you identify the exact configuration of any BSC12-X-XX-XXXXX model. Each digit or letter corresponds to a cabinet size, exhaust type, and shielding thickness for the working area and optional compartments, plus the lead glass viewing window.

*   **BSC12** – Shielded biological safety cabinet series
*   **1** – Size
*   **A2 or B2** – Cabinet type (exhaust configuration)
*   **Last 5 digits** – Lead thickness choices for:
    *   Working area (Size 1 through 5)
    *   Generator compartment
    *   Dose calibrator compartment
    *   Waste bin compartment
    *   Lead glass viewing window

*   A2 cabinet
*   10mm lead thickness in the working area
*   75mm in Generator Compartment
*   50mm lead thickness in Dose Calibration Compartment
*   20mm lead thickness in Waste Bin
*   5mm lead glass shielding equivalency in the viewing window

Is a Shielded BSC Right for Your Facility?
------------------------------------------

Consider specifying a **shielded biological safety cabinet** if your team:

*   Handles **PET or SPECT radiopharmaceuticals** in a clean-room or ISO-classified environment.
*   Must comply with both **USP- or GMP-grade aseptic processing** and local radiation-protection rules.
*   Wants to **reduce operator dose** while keeping workflows compact and efficient.
*   Is planning a **new hot lab, cyclotron facility, or radiopharmacy renovation**.

Lead Glass Pro can assist with **layout review, shielding selection, and product code configuration** so you receive a cabinet that matches your exact clinical or research workload.
