Ultraray has expanded its nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy product line with a comprehensive range of stainless-steel lead-lined cabinets designed to support modern clinical workflows.
While radiation protection is a baseline requirement, day-to-day efficiency depends on how storage, waste handling, preparation, and material access are organized within the space. These cabinet systems are developed to address those operational demands by aligning storage configurations with real workflow conditions.
Each cabinet type is built around a specific function, allowing facilities to improve organization, reduce handling steps, and better manage radioactive materials throughout their lifecycle.
Lead-Lined Radioisotope Storage Cabinet
This cabinet is designed to support organized, high-density storage of radiopharmaceuticals.
It features twelve individually lockable drawers, allowing multiple isotopes to be stored within a single cabinet while maintaining controlled access. Drawer name plates improve identification, and removable drawer construction supports cleaning and maintenance.
This configuration is suited for facilities that require structured storage and clear separation between isotopes.
Key benefits include:
- High-capacity drawer organization
- Individual access control for accountability
- Improved identification and handling accuracy
- Simplified maintenance through removable components
Lead-Lined Decay Cabinet
The decay cabinet is designed for storing materials during decay periods prior to disposal.
Its internal layout prioritizes flexibility, with two adjustable shelves rated for high load capacity. This allows storage of sharps containers, boxed waste, and larger materials without reconfiguration. A key-locked door controls access throughout the decay cycle.
This cabinet is commonly used where waste volume and container size vary.
Key benefits include:
- Flexible internal storage for different waste types
- High load capacity for heavier materials
- Controlled access during decay
- Adaptability for multiple storage applications
Lead-Lined Preparation Enclosure Base Cabinet
This cabinet serves as a foundation for preparation enclosures while providing integrated storage.
It combines a durable stainless steel work surface with a spill-resistant design, including a backsplash and lip. Below the work surface, adjustable shelving supports storage of supplies, containers, or equipment used during preparation.
This configuration supports efficient workflows by combining preparation and storage in one location.
Key benefits include:
- Integrated work surface and storage
- Durable, cleanable stainless steel construction
- High load capacity shelving
- Efficient use of vertical space in hot labs
Lead-Lined Decay and Storage Cabinet
This dual-purpose cabinet separates active storage from decay functions within a single unit.
The upper section includes organized storage drawers, while the lower compartment is dedicated to decay with adjustable shelving. This allows facilities to manage both functions without requiring separate cabinets.
This configuration is particularly useful in space-constrained environments.
Key benefits include:
- Combined storage and decay functions
- Reduced equipment footprint
- Organized separation of materials
- Flexible internal configuration
Lead-Lined Waste Cabinet
Designed specifically for non-sharps radioactive waste, this cabinet simplifies routine disposal.
A shielded waste chute allows materials to be deposited directly into a container without opening the cabinet. This reduces handling and supports continuous waste collection workflows.
It is commonly used in environments with frequent waste generation.
Key benefits include:
- Controlled waste deposition through shielded port
- Reduced need for cabinet access during use
- Compatibility with standard waste containers
- Durable construction for repeated use
Lead-Lined Generator and Storage Cabinet
This cabinet is engineered to support generator use while maintaining organized storage.
A dedicated drawer accommodates generator placement and allows access during operation without disruption. Trap doors provide controlled entry points, and removable components simplify replacement. Separate compartments allow decaying generators to be stored independently.
This configuration supports both active use and post-use management.
Key benefits include:
- Continuous generator operation without interruption
- Integrated decay storage compartments
- Flexible access through multiple entry points
- Efficient use of cabinet footprint
Lead-Lined Phantom Cabinet
The phantom cabinet is designed for storing imaging phantoms and flood sources.
Its vertical storage configuration allows phantoms to be stored upright, improving space efficiency. An adjustable divider enables the interior to be configured based on the size and number of items.
This cabinet is typically used as part of a multi-cabinet system.
Key benefits include:
- Organized vertical storage
- Adjustable internal configuration
- Efficient use of cabinet space
- Suitable for calibration and QA tools
Lead-Lined Waste and Storage Cabinet
This cabinet combines isotope storage and waste collection into one unit.
The upper section includes storage drawers for organized isotope handling, while the lower compartment includes a waste port and container for non-sharps waste. This allows both functions to be managed within a single footprint.
It is well suited for facilities aiming to reduce cabinet count.
Key benefits include:
- Combined storage and waste handling
- Organized drawer-based storage
- Integrated waste collection system
- Space-efficient design
Lead-Lined Unit Dose Cabinet
Designed for compact environments, this cabinet integrates multiple storage and disposal functions.
It includes sharps compartments, disposal chutes, storage drawers, and bulk storage areas. A full-width lower drawer allows storage of larger items such as phantoms.
This configuration supports structured workflows within limited space.
Key benefits include:
- Integrated sharps management and storage
- Multiple compartments for organized handling
- Compact design for smaller hot labs
- Support for routine unit dose workflows
Lead-Lined Sink and Waste Cabinet
This cabinet combines water access, storage, and waste handling in one system.
It includes a stainless steel sink, storage space beneath, and a separate waste compartment divided by a lead barrier. A waste port allows materials to be deposited directly into a container.
This configuration supports workflows that require both preparation and disposal in the same area.
Key benefits include:
- Integrated sink and storage
- Separated waste handling compartment
- Efficient use of available space
- Durable and cleanable surfaces
PET Unit Dose Cabinet
This cabinet is designed specifically for PET radiopharmaceutical workflows.
It integrates a shielded work surface with storage below, allowing preparation and storage to occur within one unit. Features include an L-block shield, dose calibrator shielding, and a sharps container.
This configuration supports efficient PET handling within a compact footprint.
Key benefits include:
- Integrated preparation and storage
- Compatibility with PET workflow equipment
- Organized access to materials and tools
- Space-efficient workstation design
Standard Configurations with Flexible Customization
These cabinet types represent standard configurations developed around common nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy workflows. However, most projects require adjustments to align with specific operational conditions.
Cabinet dimensions, internal layouts, and functional features can be modified to suit individual requirements.
Typical customization options include:
- Adjusted cabinet dimensions to fit room layouts
- Modified drawer configurations or sizes
- Shelf repositioning and load capacity adjustments
- Changes to access orientation or door configuration
- Integration of additional compartments or partitions
- Adaptation to specific equipment or workflow needs
Customization is most effective when defined early in the design process. Aligning cabinet configuration with workflow requirements ensures that storage, access, and handling functions support daily operations without unnecessary constraints.

Supporting More Efficient Radiopharmacy Environments
These cabinet additions are intended to support the full range of nuclear medicine workflows, from isotope storage and preparation to waste handling and PET applications.
Rather than relying on a single cabinet type to serve multiple purposes, facilities can select configurations that align directly with how materials are handled throughout the day.
The result is improved organization, reduced handling complexity, and more efficient use of available space within controlled environments.
