511KeV PET tungsten syringe shield
Designed for PET radiopharmaceuticals, the PET syringe shield has an integrated anti-roll feature with a flat bottom designed to prevent syringes from rolling along surfaces for convenience and to reduce the risk of needle stick injuries. The wall thickness is 7.5 mm (1/4 inch) and the shield includes a lead glass window and a screw lock mechanism to securely hold the syringe in place during use.
Tungsten vial shields
Tungsten vial shields offer maximum protection while remaining lightweight and durable. Made from tungsten alloy with a smooth, polished surface, they are easy to clean and sterilize. Designed to fit reagent vials from various kit manufacturers, they feature a removable screw top with a dished opening to expose the vial septum. An internal spring ensures a secure hold of the vial septum top against the septum opening.

Unilock 4 tungsten syringe shield
Made entirely of tungsten to provide superior protection compared to traditional lead for higher activity work, this syringe shield features a wider lead glass window for improved visibility of the syringe graduations. The Unilock 4 also features the same anti-rolling flat base as the PET tungsten syringe shield.
Unilock 5 tungsten syringe shield
Designed specifically to address customer requests for enhanced glass protection, this syringe shield features the anti-roll feature common to other models and can be color-coded, allowing radiopharmacists to organize radiopharmaceuticals being prepared. Logos can be etched into the shroud of these and the PET tungsten syringe shields.
