Product Details
Technical Specifications
The Lead L-Block is a bench-top radiation shielding screen engineered for laboratory environments where precise, adjustable protection is required. Each unit is manufactured to order with lead thickness tailored to your specific isotope and dose-rate requirements, ensuring optimal attenuation without unnecessary weight.
| Parameter | Range |
|---|---|
| Lead Equivalence | 0.5 mm – 50 mm Pb |
| Shield Height | 300 mm – 600 mm |
| Shield Width | 400 mm – 800 mm |
| Base Material | Stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum |
| Viewing Window | Optional leaded glass (0.25–0.5 mm Pb eq.) |
Design & Construction
The L-shaped profile provides full frontal and top-down shielding coverage, ideal for manipulations involving unsealed radioactive sources, syringe handling, or small-animal imaging setups. The modular design allows the vertical and horizontal panels to be reconfigured or extended, and all joints are overlapped to eliminate radiation streaming paths.
Application Scenarios
In research laboratories, the Lead L-Block is deployed at radiochemistry workstations, radiopharmacy compounding benches, and quality-control stations where gamma and X-ray emitters are routinely handled. Its compact footprint fits standard fume hoods and laminar-flow cabinets, while the custom thickness ensures compliance with local dose-limit regulations without over-engineering the shield. Universities, hospitals, and nuclear medicine facilities rely on this design for day-to-day operator protection during source preparation and assay procedures.
