PET Brochure

At Capintec, our commitment to PET covers not only our
full line of products, but our belief in the importance of
coordination. We are experienced in working closely with
the manufacturers of scanners and cyclotrons and with
architects and builders to coordinate the design, planning
and installation of your equipment.

SHIELDED HOODS

Capintec provides custom shielding for a wide range of hoods and
enclosures. Whether you require an one inchof lead surrounding
a work area or 2” of PET thick shielding and an integral lead glass
mobile body shield for quality assurance or dose preparation. Capin-
tec’s engineers will be able to design custom hood shielding to your
specifications.
Fully shielded Biological Safety Cabinet and Radioisotope Fume
Hoods feature a mobile body shield with lead glass, to view the
working area while protecting the worker. The mobile body shield
can be moved to allow replacement of filters and for certification
and servicing the hood. The mobile body shield moves smoothly
into place or out of the way. Our engineers will be glad to work with
you to design the product that best meets your needs. Detailed draw-
ings and specifications for typical designs are available to assist your
efforts. Drawings for custom configurations are available on request.

dling of 511 keV nuclides. The front wall and the base of the unit are
constructed of steel frame and lead brick. A 4” thick lead glass window
offers maximum protection and an unrestricted viewing area. In addi-
tion, the lead glass is protected on both sides from scratches by a sheet
of plate glass.

lead equivalency. It has a viewing area of 0.75” thick lead glass sur-
rounded by a rubber grommet to prevent damage to the glass. Fluores-
cent gold gloss covers the interior of the syringe shield for exceptional
visibility of the syringe contents.
An optional “Double Clip” security holder is also available.

511 Dose-Drawing Syringe Shield

The 511 Dose Drawing Syringe Shields are constructed with the same
featured shielding as the 511 C-Tec Syringe Shields. The needle end
of the syringe shield has a Tungsten disc that protects the user’s hands
during the dose drawing procedure.
There are 2 pins in the end disc that secure the shield to the Drawing
Station. This allows single handed dose removal from the drawing sta-
tion.
