Radioisotope Fume Hood
HSN Code: 841490
The Chromgate Radioisotope Fume Hood is a specialized containment enclosure designed for laboratory procedures involving radioactive materials, subject to the specific radionuclides, activity levels, physical forms, and radiological safety assessment.
The hood is designed to maintain controlled airflow and negative pressure to help contain airborne radioactive contamination generated during suitable laboratory procedures.
Key Features:-
- Controlled negative-pressure containment
- Smooth, non-porous, easy-to-decontaminate internal surfaces
- Suitable corrosion-resistant construction
- Minimal joints and crevices to facilitate decontamination
- Suitable worktop with raised / contained edges, where required
- Airflow monitoring and low-flow alarm
- Dedicated exhaust arrangement
- Suitable filtration where required by the radiological assessment
- Provision for differential pressure / airflow monitoring
- Specialized shielding provisions where specifically required
- Customized utility and service connections
- Easy-access construction for inspection and decontamination
Filtration & Shielding
HEPA filtration is not automatically appropriate for every radioactive application. Filtration should be selected according to whether the contaminant is particulate, gaseous, volatile, or another radioactive form.
Similarly, radiation shielding—such as lead or other shielding materials—should be determined by a qualified radiation-safety assessment based on the radionuclide, radiation type, activity, and process.
Applications
Suitable for specifically assessed procedures involving radioisotopes in research, pharmaceutical, healthcare, nuclear medicine, and other authorized laboratory environments.
Note: Radioisotope fume hood design, installation, testing, filtration, shielding, exhaust discharge, and operating procedures should comply with applicable radiation-safety regulations and requirements of the responsible radiation-safety authority.
