Saxsons Dose CabinetAll-in-One Hot Lab Workstation
One self-shielded cabinet that holds the four primitives of a nuclear-medicine hot lab — dose calibrator, L bench, sharps container shield, and a tungsten-shielded PET dose dispenser. Compact, lockable, and built in India for Indian NM departments by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.
Key Features
- Integrated dose calibrator station with ionisation-chamber well and digital readout (PET/SPECT/I-131 isotope library compatible)
- L bench — L-shaped lead-shielded operator workstation that puts a shielded barrier between the radiopharmacist and the source vial during draw-up
- Sharps container shield — recessed lead-lined receptacle for spent syringes and vials, kept inside the cabinet during decay storage
- Dose Dispenser station with tungsten vial shield for PET (511 keV); optional configurations for SPECT (Tc-99m, 140 keV) and Iodine (I-131, 364 keV)
- Stainless steel work surface with a 0.5″ raised spill-proof lip — contains accidental spills inside the dispensing area

Applications
One workstation for PET, SPECT, and I-131 hot lab dispensing across Indian nuclear-medicine departments
PET hot lab dispensing workstation
Primary use case — the tungsten vial shield on the dispenser is sized for the 511 keV annihilation photons of F-18 and Ga-68. The L bench gives the radiopharmacist a shielded workspace for draw-up; the integrated dose calibrator confirms activity before each patient injection.
SPECT (Tc-99m) hot lab workstation
With the lead vial shield variant, the same cabinet runs as the Tc-99m dispensing station for daily SPECT bone scans, myocardial perfusion, renal and thyroid imaging studies. The dose calibrator switches to the Tc-99m isotope channel; the L bench shielding is sized for 140 keV.
I-131 therapy dispensing
I-131 capsule and liquid handling — the cabinet provides a contained dispensing environment with the lead vial shield option for the higher-energy 364 keV gamma. The lockable lower cabinet is the controlled-access storage point between dispensing and patient administration.
New nuclear-medicine hot lab fit-out
For an Indian hospital opening its first nuclear medicine department, the Dose Cabinet is a single-decision answer to the four primitives a hot lab needs — dose calibrator, dispensing bench, sharps decay storage, and shielded dispensing. One capital line replaces four separate workstation purchases.
Existing hot lab consolidation
A hot lab that has accumulated separate calibrator stations, bench shields, sharps bins and dispenser shields across the room can consolidate into the Dose Cabinet — recovers floor space, reduces operator movement between stations, and gives the radiopharmacy a single audit-clean dispensing surface.
AERB-compliant Indian hot lab
The Saxsons Dose Cabinet sits inside the AERB Safety Code for Nuclear Medicine Facility licensing framework. Saxsons supplies the engineered-control documentation an Indian NM department needs to cite during AERB site approval.
Why the Saxsons Dose Cabinet?
A single unit to meet dispensing and dose preparation requirements in the hot lab. The four primitives a hot lab needs — dose calibrator, L bench, sharps shield, dispenser — already integrated. The radiopharmacy team gets one validated workstation instead of four separately specified pieces.
Designed for the typical Indian NM hot lab where floor space is tight. The integrated form factor frees floor area that separate stations would consume — useful when the hot lab is being carved out of an existing imaging suite.
The design puts the dose calibrator, dispensing point and sharps shield within one arm-reach loop. The radiopharmacist prepares the dose without moving between stations — reducing time-at-source and giving the dosimetry team a more compact ALARA argument.
The cabinet is fully shielded by design and does not require additional shielding around it to operate safely. The room shielding decision is made for the broader hot lab environment, not to compensate for the workstation's own protection — which simplifies the AERB licensing dossier and the architectural fit-out.
