Jencons, Radiation
Protection Shielding
Beta emissions of 32P, 35S, 3H
and 14C can be effectively blocked by 10mm thick optical
acrylic. All Jencons Beta shielding is manufactured from heavy
gauge 10mm thick acrylic.
Where shielding is required for protection against
Gamma emissions of [125I] Iodine and other Gamma emitters
of lesser energy, a 12mm thick lead acrylic is required. This is
the heavy gauge lead acrylic Jencons uses for its Gamma shielding
products.
Safety Workstation Cabinet
The Safety Workstation Cabinet has been designed
as a contamination barrier between work areas for users of [32P]
Beta emitting radioisotopes. Constructed of 10mm thick acrylic these
workstations give good all-round vision. Hinged doors offer good
accessibility whilst ensuring adequate protection from within the
contained area. Includes safety holder for three pipettes and rear
vent with cover for service access.
The safety workstation has an open base and is supplied
complete with the B-Safe spillage and containment tray and one pack
of 25 disposable tray liners. Dimensions 400x400x490mm (wxdxh).

Important Safety Notice
Lead acrylic is meant for [125I] and related Gamma
blockage only. When Beta emitting particles such as [32P]
or [35S] are exposed to heavy metals such as lead, dangerous
Bremstrahlung X-rays are produced.
