PSMEB Type II A2

The PSMEB Type II A2 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.

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 of patient doses of SPECT radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine in an ISO 5 (class A) working environment.
Radiation protection is provided by different thicknesses of lead shielding, depending on the PSMEB model selected (ranging from 5 to 25 mm). To guarantee uniform whole -body protection for the user, the PSMEB features a mobile lead glass window, 30 to 80 mm thick, depending on the model selected.

PSMEB Type II A2 is equipped with a filtration system consisting in an automatically controlled fan and two HEPA filters (one for blowing into the working area, and the other for extraction to the outside): 70 % of the air is recycled through the main filter and 30 % is renewed by the extraction filter. The filtration system is designed to maintain an air barrier at a minimum speed of 0.4 m/s.

Unrivalled ergonomics

The operator is free to choose the most comfortable working position (standing or sitting), thanks to 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: stirrer, water dry bath, for exemple… The neon-lit work area is secured by an electrically operated sliding front window in laminated glass. PSMEB control and the continuous digital display of the operating parameters are ensured by a dedicated microprocessor.

PSMEB Type II A2 is also equipped with a 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 30, 40, 55 or 80 mm thick lead glass sliding screen is removable and retractable. It is mounted on a ball bearing track, which allows for effortless movement.

The optional 50 mm lead shielded generator compartment, with a lockable door for improved security, is equipped with two independent lifts compatible with all ⁹⁹Mo/^99mTc 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 Scintidose measuring device distributed by the Lemer Pax & Medisystem 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 (optional).

An optional 15 or 25 mm lead shielded waste compartment, depending on the model, can accommodate a 165 mm diameter and 220 mm high container. 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.

Learn more about our available options

The PSMEBs are type II microbiological safety cabinets designed and built to the performance requirements of European standard EN-12469, in compliance with the following international standards: Machinery directive 2006/42, Electromagnetic Compatibility directives 2014/30/UE. These laminar flow hoods are suitable for all pathogen handling operations. The air quality within the working environment is classified as ISO 5 or class A and is measured in accordance per the standard EN-14644.
