Applications
Vertical laminar flow + lead-lined chassis: sterile compounding behind radiopharmacy shielding
Sterile radiopharmaceutical compounding
Sterile vertical-flow work zone for sterile compounding of unit-dose radiopharmaceuticals where bacterial contamination is the dominant risk — Lu-177-PSMA / DOTATATE / FAPI labelling, Ga-68-DOTATOC / PSMA-11 elution-and-label workflow.
Aseptic kit reconstitution
Tc-99m cold-kit (MDP, MIBI, ECD, MAG3, DMSA) reconstitution under sterile vertical flow. The sterile-compounding filter pack keeps the work-zone air at sterile-compounding grade throughout the kit-add and decay-build cycles.
Lu-177 PRRT / PSMA labelling chemistry
Lead-lined chassis tier accommodates the per-batch labelling activity. Vertical flow keeps the compounding-zone air separated from the operator face; HEPA + UV between-batch covers the bacterial-control side.
Ga-68 generator elution + labelling
Ga-68 generator elution + DOTATATE / PSMA-11 labelling under sterile-compounding-grade air. Lead-lined chassis tier covers the per-elution activity; HEPA + UV covers the sterility.
Clean-room GMP-grade build
Stainless-steel inner + outer with integrated water-drainage wash-basin — for GMP-grade radiopharmacies running cleaning-validation. The wash-basin sits inside the cleaning-cycle SOP for operator hand-wash before / between compounding cycles.
Anti-microbial decontamination cycle
Optional anti-microbial UV / chemical sweep for high-contamination-risk workflows. Pairs with the standard HEPA + UV decontamination cycle on the between-shift schedule.
Why Saxsons™ Lead-Lined Vertical Laminar Flow Hood?
Vertical laminar flow keeps the operator-side air out of the compounding zone — the air flows DOWN through the HEPA filter onto the work surface, then OUT and AWAY from the operator face. Sterile-compounding-grade air quality at the compounding surface; the radiopharmacist works above a sterile field.
HEPA filter followed by UV decontamination. Bacterial contamination, particulate fall-out and sub-µm aerosols are removed before the air enters the work zone. Pre-filter handles larger particulates and extends HEPA service life.
The radiopharmaceutical labelling chemistry happens inside the hood — Lu-177 PSMA / DOTATATE / FAPI, Ga-68 DOTATOC. The lead-lined chassis tier is picked per the per-batch activity range; a cost-optimised tier is available for lower-activity sterile-prep workflows.

FAQ
Lead-lined vertical LAF for sterile radiopharmacy compounding — questions we hear from Indian radiopharmacy teams
Why vertical airflow beats horizontal for radioactive work, why the hood needs lead lining on top of clean-room airflow, how it fits EU GMP Annex 1, and which compounding workflows fit inside the hood.
Q.Why does sterile radiopharmaceutical compounding need a vertical laminar flow hood rather than a horizontal one?
Sterile compounding of radiopharmaceuticals (Tc-99m kit reconstitution, Ga-68 peptide labelling, Lu-177 conjugation) needs Grade A airflow directly onto the compounding surface. A horizontal LAF blows air from the back wall across the work zone and out into the operator's face — carrying any aerosolised activity from the vial straight at the operator. A vertical LAF pushes air down from a HEPA-filtered ceiling to the work surface and out through side vents, keeping the operator out of the exhaust path. For radioactive work the vertical geometry is the safer default.
Q.Why lead-lined instead of a standard clean-room vertical LAF?
A standard vertical LAF handles sterile chemistry but has no radiation shielding. Radiopharmaceutical compounding puts activity right on the work surface where the operator's hands are — Tc-99m at 140 keV, Ga-68 at 511 keV, Lu-177 β + γ. Lead lining in the back wall and side panels attenuates the source dose to the operator's body during the compounding cycle. Combined vertical-flow sterility + lead-lined radiation shielding is what a hot-lab compounding station actually needs.
Q.How does this hood fit EU GMP Annex 1 sterile-compounding requirements?
EU GMP Annex 1 sets the Grade A airflow specification, HEPA filtration class, particle-count monitoring and cleaning-validation schedule for sterile compounding. The Saxsons Lead-Lined LAF ships with the certified HEPA filter pack, the Grade A airflow rating, the sash geometry that maintains the work-zone Grade A envelope during operator intervention, and the integrated wash-basin variant that supports the GMP cleaning cycle. The design is the engineered control that goes into the site's sterile-compounding SOP.
Q.Which radiopharmacy compounding workflows fit inside the hood?
Tc-99m kit reconstitution (MDP, MIBI, ECD, MAG3, DMSA), Ga-68 peptide labelling from a Ga-68 generator eluate, Lu-177 DOTATATE / PSMA / FAPI labelling from Lu-177 chloride, I-131 solution dispensing where a Grade A envelope is specified. Not designed for high-activity theranostic dispensing where a dispensing hot cell is the right enclosure.
Q.Is this a distributor-supplied hood or Saxsons-manufactured?
The Lead-Lined Vertical LAF is a Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. under SKU NM-044 in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. The vertical geometry, lead lining, HEPA + AMCA-certified airflow, wash-basin variant and Grade A envelope are engineered for the sterile-compounding workflows of Indian radiopharmacy units.
