Selection guide · Saxsons Lead-Lined Fume Hood
The cabinet family covers everything from a Tc-99m kit bench to a theranostic high-activity prep room. This page is the per-workflow build-sheet — what size frame, what shielding tier, what filter pack, what accessories — plus the AERB inspection log entries each workflow generates.

How to read this guide
The scenarios above pair frame size, shielding tier and accessory fit-out to the activity profile typical for each workflow. Per-site dispensing volume, patient throughput and AERB licence scope shift these numbers; the site-specific build sheet is what locks the configuration.
Saxsons Healthcare ships every cabinet with a factory face-velocity certificate at the time of shipping, IQ / OQ / PQ protocols and the AERB compliance paperwork pack. Daily face-velocity (anemometer) and across-filter ΔP (PLC) logs are the routine- inspection evidence chain.
