PSMEB HE

The PSMEB HE or shielded microbiological safety cabinet allows for the preperation and fractionnating of PET and RadioLigand Therapy (RLT) radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine.

This radiation protected laminar flow hood is equipped with a sliding protective screen made of lead glass suitable in shielding for fractionating fluorinated (¹⁸F-FDG) radiopharmaceuticals, performing ⁶⁸Ge/⁶⁸Ga generator elutions and radiolabelling in particular with the following radioisotopes: ¹⁷⁷Lu, ¹³¹I, ⁶⁴Cu, ²¹²Pb.

The shielded microbiological safety cabinet PSMEB provides safety and protection for the operator against ionizing radiations

Radiation protection is provided by different thicknesses of lead shielding, depending on the PSMEB model selected (ranging from 20 to 50 mm – others upon request). To guarantee uniform wholebody protection for the user, the PSMEB features a mobile Diamond Glass scratch and chemical resistant laminated lead glass window, 70 to 140 mm thick (others upon request), depending on the lead shielding of the model selected, which can be displaced easily to adapt to the users needs.

The PSMEBs HE are available in two models:

• Type II A2 means that 70% of the air is recirculated through the main HEPA H14 filter in the hood, and the remaining 30% is extracted through a HEPA H14 exhaust filter (and optional active carbon filter).
• Type II B2 means that 100% of the air is extracted through a HEPA H14 exhaust filter (and optional active carbon filter).

Unrivalled ergonomics

The operator is free to choose the most comfortable working position (standing or sitting), made possible by the space available under the work surface.

The 316L stainless steel work surface allows the installation of the equipment necessary for generator elutions and radiolabelling, such as a stirrer, a dry bath, etc.

The LED-lit work area is secured by an electrically operated sliding front window in laminated glass. The PSMEB control and the continuous digital display of the operating parameters are ensured by a dedicated microprocessor.

The PSMEB can also be equipped with an optional germicidal UV tube with adjustable time delay mounted on a magnetic base. An expandable window seal is provided on the front panel in case of fumigation.

The Diamond Glass lead glass sliding screen is removable and retractable. It is mounted on a ball bearing track, which allows for precise and effortless movement.

The optional 50 mm lead shielded generator compartment, with a lockable door for improved security, is compatible with all ⁶⁸Ge/⁶⁸Ga generators on the market and allows for the simultaneous use of two generators for daily elutions.

PSMEB reduces operator exposure to a minimum

The shielded dose calibrator compartment, depending on the model, is also available as an option and allows to install the Accurion^-226® measuring device distributed by the Lemer Pax. The exposure of the hands and fingers is considerably reduced thanks to the “Posilift”, an innovative system of pneumatic raising and lowering of the dose calibrator sample dipper (optional).

The optional lead shielded waste compartment, depending on the model, can accomodate a standard 2L waste bin (a 2L or 7L waste bin with the optional front wate removal). Removal is performed from the inside of the workspace to ensure full-body radiation protection and has two openings: total and partial with a magnetic system (on request), the latter allowing the radiation cone to be limited to the strict minimum.
