Eichrom Technologies designs and manufactures premium Type A RAD SHIPPING SYSTEMS (RSS) for the safe transport of liquid radionuclides in syringes and vials. Built to meet UN model regulations and Yellow II/III criteria, RSS containers are optimized for durability, ergonomic handling, and space efficiency. Using advanced Monte Carlo N‑Particle (MCNP) modeling, Eichrom maximizes allowable activity while minimizing package size and weight—supporting efficient domestic and international transport of PET radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear medicine isotopes, and CFR Part 61 samples. Backed by over 30 years of shielding expertise through our sister company, NPO, Eichrom delivers proven transport solutions for the radiopharma and nuclear industries.
Eichrom’s RAD SHIPPING SYSTEMS are ideal for transporting:
Our Type A containers are widely used for Tc‑99m, Ga‑68, and F‑18 radiopharmaceuticals, supporting critical medical diagnosis and treatment workflows.
RAD SHIPPING SYSTEMS are engineered to improve handling efficiency, reduce exposure time, and streamline daily operations.
Key ergonomic and efficiency features include:
These features support faster workflows, safer handling, and improved logistics efficiency
Using Monte Carlo N‑Particle (MCNP) technology, Eichrom engineers optimize shielding performance to:
This modeling approach improves transport efficiency while maintaining strict compliance and safety margins.
Each RSS container is constructed from a robust polyethylene outer shell combined with polished stainless steel components for long‑term durability and resistance to damage.
Reusable design features include:
The result is a rugged, long‑life transport system built for repeated use in demanding environments.
Inside each container, RSS systems incorporate:
These interior features ensure secure containment of radioactive materials while supporting contamination control and routine cleaning protocols.
RAD SHIPPING SYSTEMS are designed for practical, real‑world use. Each container is:
The compact, ergonomic design supports both single‑shipment and high‑throughput logistics environments.
