Amercare Automated Dose Dispenser
The Amercare ADD was developed to completely mimic the manual syringe filling process for dispensing radiopharmaceuticals in unit doses or in multi-dose vials.
The ADD enables dispensing operations to be carried out in hot cells where manipulation of syringes and vials by tongs and manipulators is extremely difficult. It is also suitable for bench top applications, laminar air flow cabinets or safety cabinets.
Simply select the type of syringe you want to fill and drop the syringe into the tungsten shield. Then enter the volume you want to fill and the ADD loads the syringe, fills the desired volume and presents the syringe to you for removal or recapping. You can add liquid to a previously filled syringe or dispense to vials in multiple aliquots, all with minimum manual handling. The new ADD now even automates the recapping of the syringe needle.
The total time to dispense a single dose from dropping in the syringe to removing the prepared syringe, ready capped is typically 20 to 45 seconds.
The ADD is specifically designed for high activity 511keV Isotopes and makes light work of the heavy syringe and vial shields that are difficult to manipulate by hand.
- Significantly reduces finger dose in bench-top dispensing situations
- Total cycle time of 20 – 45 seconds
- Increases accuracy, repeatability and throughput in dispensing operations
- Suitable for use with most types of syringes up to 10ml size
- Vial shield accepts vials up to 30ml
- Stainless steel and plastic construction for easy cleaning and durability
