PSMEB LME

The PSMEB LME or shielded microbiological safety cabinet is equipped with a sliding protective screen made of lead glass suitable for performing: radioisotope cell labelling, ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generator elutions, kit reconstitution and radiolabelling, in particular with the following radioisotopes: ^99mTc, ²⁰¹Tl, ¹¹¹In, ¹²³I, ¹⁷⁷Lu.

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

This radiation protected laminar flow hood also allows for the fractionating and preparation of patient doses of SPECT and Radioligand Therapy (RLT) radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine.

Radiation protection is provided by different thicknesses of lead shielding, depending on the PSMEB model selected (ranging from 5 to 20 mm – other thickness upon request). To guarantee uniform whole -body protection for the user, the PSMEB features a mobile Diamond Glass scratch and chemical resistant laminated lead glass window, 30 to 70 mm thick (other thicknesses upon request), depending on the lead shielding of model selected, which can be displaced easily to adapt to the users needs.

The PSMEBs LME are available in two models:

• Type II A2 means that 70% of the air is recycled 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.

A stainless steel work surface allows the installation of the equipment necessary for cell labelling, 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 LME is also equipped with a germicidal UV tube with adjustable time delay mounted on a magnetic base.

The 30, 40 or 70 mm thick Diamond Glass lead glass sliding screen (other thicknesses upon request) is removable and retractable. It is mounted on a ball bearing track, which allows for precise and effortless movement. The rail extension on the right (on the left as an option) provides total access to the hood for optimized daily maintenance.

The optional 50 mm lead shielded generator compartment, with a lockable door for improved security, is equipped with 2 electrical and independant lifts compatible with all ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc generators and allows for the simultaneous use of two generators for daily elutions.

PSMEB reduces operator exposure to a minimum

The 15 or 25 mm 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 group. The exposure of the hands and fingers is considerably reduced thanks to the “Posilift”, an innovative system of automatic raising and lowering of the dose calibrator sample dipper compatible with all dose calibrators on the market (optional).

The optional 15 or 25 mm lead shielded waste compartment, depending on the model, can accommodate a standard 2L waste bin (a 2L or 7L waste bin with the optional front waste 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.
