TMP shielded hot cell

The TMP shielded hot cell is fully compliant with regulatory requirements. Both in terms of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and radiation protection standards.

Their meticulous interior finish (no asperity Ra < 0.8 μm) in 316L stainless steel and their radiused corners are ideal for cleaning and decontamination.

Connection to the building’s nuclear ventilation network is ensured by automatically opening valves. Thus enabling the hot cell to be put under negative pressure or confined. A pressure gauge continuously displays the vacuum level in the enclosure*. Filtration is provided by a HEPA filter at the inlet. At the outlet, by one or more HEPA and activated carbon filters. The latter are installed inside the hot cell as standard.

All the functions of the cell are controlled on a touch screen: inflating of the seals, lighting, ventilation valve control, etc. The screen also continuously displays the irradiation values and negative pressure inside each hot cell*.

Each hot cell features liquid or gaseous target tube inlets, and different types of electric and fluidic connectors (nitrogen, hydrogen, compressed air, etc.), and covers all users needs.

They are also equipped with individually controllable electrical outlets.

The cell can be equipped with a large armored airlock or a simple automatic sliding door inside the cell to allow products to enter or leave. The airlock features an automatically operated loading drawer to facilitate transfer operations.

Depending on the application, this cell can also be fitted with :

• DPTE® airlock and PMP doors
• garbage can compartment for liquid or solid waste
• dose calibrator location
• bottle outlet
