Biodex Vial Pig Shipping System PET 1 in. Lead Shield for 30 ml Vial

Biodex Compact PET Shipping System for 30 mL Vial Pig (001-724) – Complete System

The Biodex Compact PET Shipping System (001-724) is a DOT-compliant, heavy-duty transport system engineered for the safe highway distribution of high-energy Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals, such as FDG F-18. Designed as a complete, turnkey transport assembly, this system combines the 1-inch lead-shielded 30 mL Vial Pig (001-706) with a rugged, impact-resistant outer transport case equipped with custom shock-absorbing foam inserts. The system meets stringent Department of Transportation (DOT) Type A packaging requirements, ensuring maximum radiation protection and structural containment during transit between central nuclear radiopharmacies and clinical PET imaging facilities.

Technical Performance & Regulatory Compliance

• DOT Type A Packaging Compliance: Rigorously tested and certified to meet DOT 7A Type A packaging specifications for hazardous radioactive material transport via ground or air logistics networks.
• Integrated 1-Inch Lead Shielding: Includes the primary 001-706 vial pig featuring 1 inch (25.4 mm) of continuous lead attenuation throughout the container body and cap, dramatically lowering surface radiation dose rates for 511 keV radionuclides.
• High-Impact Polyethylene Outer Shell: Encased in a durable, weather-resistant outer transport container designed to withstand drops, physical impacts, and severe vibration without compromising internal alignment.
• Custom Shock-Absorbing Cushioning: Precision-molded internal foam inserts keep the vial pig securely locked in an upright position, mitigating kinetic shock and preventing liquid spill risks during transit.
• Secure Latching & Tamper-Evident Seal Brackets: Outfitted with heavy-duty stainless steel draw latches equipped with padlock eyes for security seals, satisfying regulatory requirements for chain-of-custody verification.
