 The LDR Brachytherapy Seed Sterilization and Sorting Tray is designed to allow you to sort seeds into ten separate wells. Seeds can also be sorted according to source strength. Each well is stamped with a number for identification and can easily hold over 100 seeds. The tray is 6.3 inches in diameter so it will easily fit into all autoclaves.
The tray significantly reduces exposure. Before and after sterilization a 1/8" aluminum cover is locked down over the wells to shield personnel from radiation. The cover has one hole in it, and it can be rotated so the hole is positioned over one well at a time. During use, the seeds from only that well are exposed while being loaded into your treatment system. A minimum number of seeds can be placed in each well to prevent additional exposure. The un-exposed wells are then shielded with 1/4 inch aluminum to prevent exposure from the wells not being used. The hole can also be positioned between two wells to prevent any exposure from LDR seeds in the wells. The cover can be locked in place to prevent spilling seeds while transporting them.
Accessories:
Shielding Cover
An optional Shielding Cover is available for securing the Sterilization Cover for transportation. This is useful when the tray is loaded and then sent to be sterilized by another person or department.
