All technologists are not the same, so the PETbench is offered in two sizes that vary in height and depth. Providing an optimized work space, the Standard PETbench is built with a countertop height of 33½” and a counter depth of 33”, while the Compact model has a height of 28” and a depth of 27”. To fine-tune your comfort, the PETbench is equipped with adjustable flanged feet that regulate the PETbench height by four inches.
In a PET facility, heavy lead shielding required for the safe handling of PET unit doses can easily exceed 1600 lbs. For support, the PETbench body is constructed of 18-gauge heavy duty stainless steel. The countertop is 14-guage stainless steel and is incorporated with a 4” high backsplash and an inverted “V” edge in the front. This stylish yet sturdy exterior is also non-porous, making it easy to clean and decontaminate in the event of spills.

| Features | Safety & Convenience |
| L-Block | When receiving and preparing unit doses, the L-Block provides 1.5” of lead shielding in front and 1.0” in the base. The L-Block is equipped with an 8" x 8" x 4" thick lead glass window (5.2 g/cm3 density) for easy viewing of the dose drawing area. |
| Adjustable Ion Chamber | The base of the L-Block has an opening that allows a dose calibrator ion chamber to be mounted from under the counter and positioned to an optimum working height. Intended for use with a calibration chamber and shielding rings, this feature includes a ¼” steel support plate threaded with steel rods that is secured in place by locking nuts. |
| Lead Brick Cave | For optimal protection, the lead brick cave shields all three sides of the L-Block to a height of 16" from the countertop. The lead brick cave consists of 30 interlocking lead bricks, two inches (2”) thick, and is fitted with a stainless steel cave cover. |
| Instrument Stand | The dose calibrator display unit is mounted on an instrument stand above the countertop to maximize work space. With a full range of motion, the stand can be positioned so that it is ideally accessible and visible for the user. The shelf has 4 locking positions at 15 increments from level to 45, while the height can be raised up to 12”. |
| PET Sharps Shield Box | Built into the countertop, the sharps shield box holds one 3.3 quart BD sharps container, and is shielded by 1” of lead on all 6 sides. The shield's lid is equipped with a removable lead plug for quick access during syringe disposal, a handle for easy replacement of the sharps container, and a lock lip so an external lock can be added to secure the lid. |
| Storage & Security | The under counter area of the PETbench is fully enclosed and equipped with individual locks on each cabinet door. There is storage space inside the cabinet for 2 Biodex Shipping Systems or 3 to 4 of the lead lined "ammo cans" used by many radiopharmacies. |
