Saxsons™ Shielded Syringe CarrierConfigurable Lead-Tier Ladder + β-γ Hybrid · Multi-Syringe Transport between Hot Lab and Injection Room
Saxsons own-brand shielded syringe carrier family for the routine task that drives a measurable share of operator extremity dose — moving dispensed unit-dose syringes from the hot lab to the patient injection room or theranostic suite. A configurable shielding-tier ladder covers the full dispense-energy range from SPECT Tc-99m through routine PET (FDG / Ga-68), high-activity PET and premium long-distance transport. β-γ hybrid builds pair the outer lead with a low-Z β-absorber inner layer for pure-beta and mixed-emission isotopes (Y-90, P-32, Sr-89, Lu-177 theranostic). Stainless-steel outer chassis available in standard and medical-grade clean-room finishes. Designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. Sign in to view the full configuration matrix.

Applications
The transport step is the hot-lab workflow that drives a measurable share of operator extremity dose
Hot-lab to injection-room transport — Tc-99m SPECT
The SPECT-tier build covers the routine Tc-99m unit-dose walk from the dispensing bench to the gamma-camera injection room. Long handle keeps the operator hand at maximum distance from the shielded well.
Hot-lab to injection-room — routine PET (FDG, Ga-68)
Routine-PET tier for the FDG / Ga-68 / Cu-64 unit-dose transport. High-activity PET tier for the multi-dose source-vial radiopharmacies dispensing 30+ doses per shift, with heavier shielding on the lateral wall closest to the operator hand.
Lu-177 theranostic dose transport
Hybrid composite carrier handles the β contribution from Lu-177 and the γ doublet (113 / 208 keV). For PRRT and PSMA-617 unit-dose transport from radiopharmacy to therapy suite.
Y-90 SIR-T microsphere transport
β-γ hybrid build with a low-Z β-absorber inner layer — stops the high-energy beta before bremsstrahlung develops against the lead inner surface. For interventional-radiology SIR-T workflow.
I-131 thyroid therapy capsule transport
Higher-activity tier for I-131 ablation capsule transport — 75–250 mCi capsules carry to the patient room or therapy suite within AERB transport-shielding requirements.
Multi-syringe ferry — high-throughput radiopharmacy
Multi-syringe slot configuration carries 2–4 dispensed unit doses per trip. Reduces per-shift round trips between the hot lab and the injection room — operator cumulative-dose budget benefits proportionally.
Why Saxsons™ Shielded Syringe Carrier?
Unlike a single-direction bench shield, the syringe carrier is held in the operator hand during transport — the lead has to wrap on all sides because there is no fixed orientation. The high-activity tier recognises that the lateral wall is closest to the operator hand during carry, so the lateral side gets the heaviest shielding.
Pure-beta isotopes (Y-90, P-32, Sr-89) generate bremsstrahlung when they stop in high-Z lead. A low-Z inner layer stops the beta first; the lead behind handles the residual γ. This is the standard radiation-safety construction for any β-γ transport surface.
Dose rate from the shielded syringe well falls with the square of distance. The long-handle design adds hand-to-well distance between the operator hand and the shielded well — measurable reduction in cumulative extremity dose over a 100-shift year.

FAQ
Shielded syringe carrier — questions we hear from Indian NM RSOs
Why hot-lab to injection-room transit dose accumulates fast, when to pick the β-γ hybrid variant for Lu-177 / Y-90, what the long-handle geometry buys under ALARA, and multi-syringe slot configurations for high-throughput mornings.
Q.What dose problem does a shielded syringe carrier solve on the transit from hot lab to injection room?
Once the dose is drawn into the syringe, the technologist walks it from the dispensing bench to the injection room — potentially 20–50 metres of corridor. That transit is repeated 20–40 times per morning list on a busy SPECT / PET department. Without a shielded carrier, the syringe sits at hand-distance from the technologist body throughout the walk. A shielded carrier reduces the transit dose per trip; over a month, this is the difference between staying comfortably under the AERB annual dose budget and burning it faster.
Q.When should the department pick the β-γ hybrid variant?
For mixed-emission theranostic isotopes — Y-90 (β + gamma), Lu-177 (β + γ), Sr-89 (β + γ), P-32 (β only). Pure-lead shielding on a beta emitter produces bremsstrahlung (secondary X-rays) as the beta particles decelerate in the lead — the shield ends up producing radiation of its own. The β-γ hybrid variant uses a Perspex / acrylic inner liner to stop the beta before it reaches the lead, then the lead outer wall attenuates the gamma. The correct architecture for Lu-177 PRRT and Y-90 microsphere transport.
Q.Why the long-handle carry design?
ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) applies to distance: doubling the distance from the source quarters the dose rate. A long-handle carrier extends the operator hand from the shielded syringe well by 30–40 cm; the hand-and-body dose drops sharply compared to a short-handle carrier where the technologist grips near the shielded volume. Small ergonomic change, meaningful cumulative dose reduction.
Q.Which multi-syringe slot configuration fits which workflow?
2-syringe for satellite / low-volume workflows where the transit list is short. 4-syringe for high-throughput SPECT / PET mornings — ferry four unit doses in one trip and cut the number of hot-lab-to-injection-room round trips per shift. Fewer round trips means less cumulative transit dose across the shift.
Q.Is this a distributor-supplied carrier or Saxsons-manufactured?
The Shielded Syringe Carrier is a Saxsons own-brand product — designed and manufactured in India by Saxsons Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. in an ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 approved plant. The lead-tier ladder, β-γ hybrid variant, long-handle geometry, multi-syringe slot configurations and stainless-steel decontaminable interior are engineered for the dispensing-to-injection-room workflows of Indian NM departments.
