Benchtop Beta Shields
Free standing stable shields in transparent acrylic 9.5mm thick. With angled top and 300mm deep base which provides a flat working surface and minimises the risk of "hot spots" on the laboratory bench.

1) These shields are unsuitable for use against secondary x-rays (Bremsstrahlung) or gamma radiation.
2) Radioactive waste must never be stored on the benchtop for long periods and must be disposed of properly. Proper handling and storage of isotopes minimises unnecessary exposure to radiation.
Beta Waste Containers
Transparent acrylic 9.5mm thick. Supplied with polyethylene screw cap bottle to contain aqueous waste solutions such as buffers. The shield encases the waste bottle without obstructing access to the bottle cap.
Ref. 6710 RA405-17 -2000 Beta Waste Shield
Transparent acrylic 9.5mm thick. Accommodates large containers. A large hinged door in the cover allows easy access to the waste receptacle and a tray sits within the shield to contain spillage. Hinged corners allow removal of the container and the shield can be collapsed for storage.
