Technetium Dispensing Isolator

Technetium-99m is the most widely used radioisotope in nuclear medicine, accounting for around 85% of all diagnostic imaging procedures globally and supporting approximately 20 million patient procedures each year. It is used across a wide range of applications, from bone and cardiac imaging to brain perfusion, kidney function and lung assessment. For nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy departments performing these critical procedures, a Technetium-99m–specific isolator helps you achieve safer, more accurate and more efficient dispensing by aligning directly with your workflow requirements.

Amercare Technetium dispensing isolators are designed to support safe, aseptic elution of Technetium-99m and reliable preparation of radiopharmaceuticals within your nuclear medicine environment. Whether you require a standard configuration or a system tailored to your specific process, each isolator is engineered to improve dispensing control, reduce handling risks and support consistent efficiency across your workflow.

Isolators Tailored for Technetium-99m Dispensing 

Amercare Technetium dispensing isolators feature an integrated generator storage drawer with 60mm 360-degree interlocking lead shielding, ensuring the generator remains fully protected throughout the elution process while reducing manual handling requirements. Comprehensive tailorable lead shielding is incorporated throughout the isolator to help protect operators during dispensing and preparation processes. Turbulent airflow mixes and dilutes contaminants within the workspace to support a controlled operating environment, while negative pressure operation maintains containment and safeguards both operators and the laboratory setting. Foot-operated dose calibrator dippers and real-time activity monitoring further support safer, more controlled radiopharmaceutical handling.
