Hot Cells and Casks
Custom-Engineered Systems for Isotope Production, Research & Nuclear Medicine
Robatel Technologies designs radiopharmaceutical hot cells and casks that support the production, packaging, and transport of medical isotopes. Whether you’re handling Actinium-225, Lutetium-177, or Technetium-99m, our systems are built for gamma shielding, aseptic processing, and regulatory compliance at every stage of the radiopharma lifecycle.
With over 70 years of experience, we deliver systems tailored for alpha emitters, short half-life isotopes, and GMP workflows.
Fully Customized to Your Process
At Robatel Technologies, we understand that no two radiopharmaceutical operations are alike. That’s why all of our hot cells, gloveboxes, and shielded enclosures are engineered from the ground up to meet your specific application, workflow, and regulatory needs.
We work directly with your team to define:
- Shielding requirements based on isotope type and activity levels
- Airflow and cleanliness specifications, including ISO 5 (Grade A) for sterile production
- Internal layout and ergonomics to streamline operator tasks
- Integration with synthesizers, dispensers, and QC equipment
- Material handling features, such as manipulators, rapid transfer ports (RTPs), and pre-chambers
- Modularity and expandability for future upgrade.
Our goal is to deliver a solution that fits your exact process, not force your process to fit our equipment.
HOT CELLS
We design and fabricate radiopharmaceutical hot cells specifically for:
Aseptic dose preparation and dispensing
Radiochemistry and isotope production
Cleanroom-compatible installations
Handling of alpha and beta emitters, including high-energy gamma decay chains
Each hot cell is custom-built to meet your operational and regulatory requirements, including:
ISO-5 (Grade A) laminar airflow and HEPA filtration
Lead shielding tailored to isotope energy profiles (e.g., Ac-225, Lu-177)
Remote manipulators and airlock integration
Class I leak-tightness for maximum operator and product protection
Seamless interiors and curved corners for easy decontamination

GLOVEBOXES
Robatel gloveboxes are ideal for upstream research, downstream QC, and safe handling of radiopharmaceutical waste. Built to your process, they offer:
Lead or tungsten shielding for alpha/gamma radiation
Negative pressure and filtered exhaust for contamination control
Modular pass-throughs and pre-chambers for GMP compliance
Integration with synthesis modules, test equipment, or packaging stations
Inert or sterile gas environments for sensitive isotope handling
Gloveboxes at CEA with Class I Leak Tightness
CASKS
Robatel also designs and fabricates Type B(U) casks specifically tailored for the transport and storage of radiopharmaceuticals and sealed sources.
Applications include:
Medical isotope shipment (e.g., Lu-177, Ac-225, F-18, Ra-223)
Multi-package isotope delivery logistics
Reusable shielded containers for centralized radiopharmacies
Custom shielding and cavity sizing for dose optimization
Our casks are designed to meet all applicable IAEA and NRC standards and are available with full licensing and testing support.
