UniFill 5
Automated dispensing system for the filling of open and closed vials
The automated dispensing system UniFill consists of the lead shielded class A dispensing cell and the directly connected class B pre-chamber. The dispensing system is installed inside the dispensing cell. The shielding at the front side can be lowered for the inactive preparation of the dispensing system through the glove ports. Lead plugs are available to perform the preparation under active conditions. Dispensing cell and pre-chamber are both equipped with LAF units and separate ventilation and filter systems. The complex is working under negative pressure. The pressure in the pre-chamber is lower than the pressure in the dispensing cell.
The dispensing system enables the filling in open and/or closed vials of different sizes. A rotary plate is positioning the vials under each module of the dispensing system. A syringe pump is transferring the product solution through a sterile filter. Afterwards the vials are automatically dropped into the ventilated bottom lock, in which the activity will be determined as well. The extraction is done directly into a lead container. The lid of the container will be automatically handled.
All vials of a batch are filled consecutively according a
preparation list. The determination of the activity and weight of the bulk solution and the dilution are performed in advance of the dispensing process. Significant parameters are monitored and logged.

Beta Boxes Complex
Beta Boxes Complex
Glove box complex for the handling of radiopharmaceuticals based on beta-emitters
The Beta Boxes Complex is for the handling of Y-90-compounds and other high-energy beta-emitter. It is designed for the GMP-compliant preparation, process and dispensing of Y-90-radiopharmaceuticals up to 30 GBq. The Beta Boxes Complex consists of three interconnected acrylic glass boxes with glove ports. Inward/outward transfer and transfer between the boxes are realised by double locks. Laminar air flow ensures grade A respectively B conditions inside the complex for all the critical process stages.
The operator is supported by local shieldings and manipulation equipment to optimize handling and to essentially reduce radiation exposure, especially to the hands.
We will customize the design and all dimensions of the Beta Boxes Complex on your request regarding your intended process and/or your physical conditions.
