Lead Shielded Cabinets for Nuclear Medicine & Hot Labs
Lead Glass Pro’s Lead Shielded Cabinets provide secure, high-density radiation protection wherever radioactive materials must be stored and accessed every day.
Designed for nuclear medicine departments, PET & SPECT hot labs, radiopharmacies, research facilities, and industrial radiography, these cabinets combine robust lead shielding with durable stainless-steel construction and easy-to-clean surfaces.
Available in multiple configurations — door with pull-out shelves, 2-drawer, 3-drawer, and 6-drawer units — the line gives you a flexible way to organize syringes, vials, sealed sources, waste, and QA materials while maintaining ALARA principles.
Key Benefits
-
Reliable radiation attenuation
High-density lead shielding from 0.24"–0.98" (6–25 mm) helps protect staff from stored isotopes and sealed sources. -
Compact footprint, maximum storage
All models share a consistent outside size for easy planning and modular layouts, while internal layouts (shelves vs. drawers) can be tailored to specific workflows. -
Stainless steel body + HPL front
Robust construction stands up to daily cleaning, disinfectants, and hot-lab use. High-pressure laminate (HPL) drawer/door fronts are available in multiple RAL colors to match your department. -
Smooth access to contents
Pull-out shelves and full-extension drawers provide clear visibility of inventory and minimize time spent with the cabinet open. -
Customizable shielding levels
Each configuration is offered in three standard thicknesses — 6 mm, 12.5 mm, and 25 mm lead — so you can match the cabinet to your isotope mix and activity levels. -
Flexible locking options
Standard one-use keyed locks, combi-keyed systems, and optional padlocks help you comply with local security and controlled-substance policies.
Typical Applications
-
Nuclear medicine and PET hot labs
-
Radiopharmacies and dose-dispensing centers
-
Radiochemistry and research laboratories
-
Industrial radiography and NDT facilities
-
Any controlled area requiring secure, shielded storage of radioactive materials
Use the cabinets as primary hot-lab storage, a secure buffer near imaging rooms, or as part of a larger shielded storage wall with matching shielded safes and workstations.
