Your type A packaging specialist

Radiopharmaceuticals shipped by air or ground transport must be enclosed in certified Type A packaging. Type A packaging is an international regulation issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), to assure the safety of both the radiopharmaceuticals and the people that are involved in the transportation of the radiopharmaceuticals. This packaging consists of multiple components that together ensure safe shipment of your radiopharmaceuticals. We deliver disposable and non-disposable packaging for single or multiple containers. You can reuse our non-disposable packaging, while our single-use disposable packaging is light, easy to use and is designed to be as cost effective as possible.

All our packaging solutions have an optimal integration with the hot cells we build for nuclear medicine & radiopharmacy.
