Hot Cells for Radiopharmacy

Nuclear hot cells and mini-cells offered by Terra Universal deliver safe, shielded environments for the dispensing, handling, and synthesis of PET tracers, therapeutics, and other radiopharmaceuticals. Shielded hot cells integrate lead lining for ionizing radiation control and HEPA/activated carbon filtration to support aseptic processing and USP or cGMP sterility protocols. Integrated HEPA filtration supports ISO 5 or EU Grade A air quality for sterile manipulations. Hot cell design establishes controlled airflow in a complete containment environment with positive and negative pressure zoning to protect operators and the environment from ionizing radiation.

For rapid deployments, double-stacked mini hot cells offer a turnkey system with 360° 3-inch lead lining and shielded HEPA filtration. Custom hot cell configurations offer tailored solutions for facility-specific workflows, including pneumatic material transfer systems; liquid, gas, and electrical connections; and remote hot cell manipulator arms to support high-activity PET synthesis and iodine-131 operations.
