Safe,
effective protection for laboratory personnel is essential where applications
and techniques involve either beta or gamma emitting materials, such as the
detection of nucleic acids and proteins, or for radioimmunoassay and metabolic
studies.
To
meet this requirement laboratory supply specialists CLEAVER SCIENTIFIC (CSL)
offers an extensive range of competitively priced acrylic radiation shielding
products, which are manufactured in the UK. The range includes over
120 products, including shields, boxes, racks, waste bins, spillage trays and
cabinets.
Flexibility
and affordability are among the key requirements for most customers and CSL
serves this need by offering custom-built shields and boxes that are
manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit any application or
budget. Its storage boxes are ideal as they can hold any type of
container ranging from micro-centrifuge tubes to scintillation vials.
Drawstring heavy-duty waste bags are also available, while free standing bench
top bins with hinged lids and anti-slip feet are ideal for short term storage
of radioactive materials.
In
addition to the standard 10-mm-thick beta protection and 12mm thick lead
impregnated gamma protection shielding is 35mm thick lead impregnated
shielding, which provides gamma attenuation equivalent to 1.5-mm-thick
lead. This may be offered in 70-mm-thick shielding that offers gamma
attenuation equivalent to 3.0-mm-thick lead.
The key features of CSL protection products are:
clear optical construction for unobstructed view; a choice of angle to suit
location; the availability of most shields in small and large sizes; large flat
base models for under-bench protection and curved base models compatible with
safety spill trays; plus boxes and bins available with hinged lids in a variety
of designs and sizes. Finally, Cleaver Scientific can provide a DuoShield
specifically for those applications which require safe protection from both
beta and gamma emissions.
