Radioiodination Hood

Description -

The Radioiodination Hood is designed to be used inside existing fume hoods to minimize the iodine volatization hazards present during radiolabelling procedures. Most standard laboratory fume hoods alone do not provide the adequate airflow, proper ventilation, nor the charcoal filtration necessary to sufficiently reduce radioactive iodine from evolving into the general air supply. This hood significantly reduces these hazards, making it a simple, cost effective way of upgrading an existing fume hood.

Design Features -

Sturdy design: 1/4" thick acrylic, yet weighs only 25 lbs.
Efficient filter---5 pounds of activated charcoal for iodine trapping with a fiberglass prefilter top and bottom to eliminate dust.
Spacious, bottomless hood is 24"(w) x 21"(d) x 20"(h).
Hinged front door facilitates easy entry for experimental set-up.
High volume airflow 100 CFM blower provides 150ft/min through 5" portholes.
Easy viewing---Clear acrylic allows unobstructed view of inside.
Filter is easy to replace by simply releasing two stainless steel spring latches on side of blower assembly.

Accessories - AIR SAMPLER: To facilitate monitoring of activated charcoal filter capacity, Sooner Scientific offers an air sampler to test for escaping radioactivity in hood exhaust. Additionally, these samplers should be used to monitor the breathing zone air during experimental procedures. This sample contains highly efficient activated coconut charcoal inside a 1/2" O.D., 4" long polypropylene tube with serrated edges.

REPLACEMENT ACTIVATED CHARCOAL FILTER: This filter is 12" x 12" x 2" and contains 5 lbs. of activated charcoal, with 2 fiberglass prefilters on the top and bottom to eliminate dust.
