New DUAL protection syringe shields
Protect staff and improve precision with our new dual syringe shield, combining tungsten and Perspex for effective gamma and beta radiation protection.
Dual Syringe Shields
We’re excited to introduce the latest innovation in radiation safety: Dual Syringe Shields, specifically engineered for nuclear medicine professionals who demand both protection and precision.
Dual Protection – Gamma & Beta
Our syringe shields are constructed using a powerful combination of 4 mm tungsten and 5 mm Perspex, delivering dual-layer protection against both gamma and beta radiation. This makes them ideally suited for high-precision nuclear medicine procedures, where shielding from multiple radiation types is critical to both operator safety and procedural accuracy.
Safe Handling with Clear Visibility
A key feature of our Dual Syringe Shield is the narrow viewing window, manufactured with a thickness of 8.8 mm and a density of 5.2 g/cm³. This window provides enhanced radiation attenuation without compromising visibility—enabling clinicians to handle syringes safely and confidently during dosing and injection.
Stability with the Big-Screw System
To make clinical use even more efficient, each shield is equipped with a Big-Screw fixation system. This allows the syringe to be securely locked into place, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring accurate handling even during the most delicate procedures.
Designed for Nuclear Medicine Efficiency
Whether you’re working in a hospital radiopharmacy, PET center, or research facility, our Dual Syringe Shields are designed with practicality, protection, and performance in mind. The ergonomic design makes them easy to handle, while the robust construction ensures durability under frequent use.
Key Features at a Glance:
4 mm Tungsten + 5 mm Perspex for dual gamma/beta shielding
8.8 mm viewing window with 5.2 g/cm³ density for optimal visibility
Big-Screw locking system for syringe stability

Light Medical at the BNMS Spring Meeting 2025 – Driving Innovation in Nuclear Medicine
After a busy few months, the Light Medical team was proud to once again attend and exhibit at the BNMS Spring Meeting 2025 in Glasgow. The event brought together professionals from across nuclear medicine, radiopharmacy, medical physics, and radiology for three days of valuable insights, collaboration, and innovation.
A Standout Event
This year’s meeting was an excellent opportunity to reconnect with long-standing customers, suppliers, and partners, as well as introduce Light Medical to new faces in the field. With a packed programme of presentations and posters, there was plenty of engaging content covering key topics including Lu-177 therapies, Ga-68 PSMA, radiation protection, quality control, software, and the growing role of personalised radionuclide therapy.
What We Showcased
At our stand, we were proud to present a wide range of our latest technologies, all designed to support safe, accurate, and efficient workflows in nuclear medicine. These included:
Shielding Solutions – Syringe and vial shields for everyday protection
Sealed Sources – Co-57, Ge-68, Cs-137 for SPECT and PET calibration
TLC and HPLC Scanners – Ensuring precise and reliable QC
Shielded equipment, laminar flow and cabinets
Ga68 PSMA imaging cold kit
Collaboration at the Core
The event was also a fantastic opportunity to strengthen relationships with our partners, including Elysia-Raytest, Nuclear Shields, Epsilon (ERS), Isotopia, Raditech and RadQual. These collaborations are key to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge solutions to nuclear medicine departments across the UK and Ireland.
Looking Ahead
With nuclear medicine increasingly focused on personalised treatment and reducing radiation exposure, Light Medical is proud to be supporting this transition with innovative, safety-first products.
We're now looking forward to the BNMS Autumn Meeting at The Oval in London—another chance to engage with the community and help drive the future of nuclear medicine forward.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand in Glasgow. See you in London!
Thank you and Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
As the festive season approaches, we at Light Medical would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our valued customers and business partners (Nuclear Shields, RadQual, ERS sources, Elysia-Raytest, Von Gahlen, Isotopia and ec2 software solutions). Your support and commitment has been instrumental in our shared success this year.
Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. We look forward to further strengthening our partnership and achieving even greater milestones together in the years to come.
With warmest regards ,
Mark and Will
BNMS | AUTUMN
Strong presense at the BNMS and excitment for Belfast 2024
Light Medical, recently participated in the British Nuclear Medicine Meeting. Mark and Will attending the event held at 1 Wimpole Street the home of the Royal College of Medicine. At the event:
Cutting-Edge Technology: Light Medical showcased their latest shielding (syringe shields and vial shields), SPECT and PET sealed sources (Co-57, Ge-68, Cs-137), LIMS software, TLC and HPLC scanners, QC equipment. Setting new standards for accuracy and reducing radiation exposure, enhancing patient care.
Collaboration: They actively engaged with top companies and researchers to foster innovation and improve outcomes; ec² software solutions, Elysia-Raytest, Nuclear Shields, Epsilon (ERS), RadQual and Von Gahlen.
Key Takeaways:
Personalized Medicine: Nuclear medicine is moving towards personalized treatment plans and radionuclide therapy will play a huge part in that.
Reduced Radiation Exposure: Light Medical's innovative products prioritise user and patient safety with minimal radiation exposure.
Expanding Horizons: Ongoing work to improve market options for Nuclear Medicine, physics and radiopharamcy in the UK and Ireland.
In conclusion, a large delegate attendence at the British Nuclear Medicine Meeting reaffirms the commitment to driving nuclear medicine forward and improving patient care through cutting-edge technology and collaboration. The presence at the event signals strong support for the BNMS and the team are looking forward to Belfast 2024!
Radioactive Source Order deadlines for 2024
In partnership with Epsilon Radioactive Sources and RadQual Global Source we are planning to a do a bimonthly consolidated source order. This will include all the sources from both catalogues - Co57 flood sources, PET/CT sources (GE Healthcare, Siemens and Philips) pen point marker sources, siemens AQC sources spot marker sources and dose calibrator sources. This will also include the collection and return of old sources.

UK Radiopharmacy Group meeting 2023
Mark and Will attended the UK Radiopharmacy group meeting at Hinsley Hall, Leeds. It was an excellent meeting with talks ranging from the “Implementation of Annex 1” to “which PSMA is best?”. The consensus from our conversations with attendees was that the program was excellent, and the new venue was a refreshing change.
The team were there to represent our manufacturers in the exhibit space; Nuclear Shields, Von Gahlen, Elysia-Raytest, ec², RadQual, Epsilon and Isotopia. They were able to present Nuclear Shields range of demo syringe shields and vial shields on the first day.
The second day was a focussed LIMS software workshop day, with the team presenting the RMIS/NMIS software from ec² software solutions in the morning and taking part in a round table discussion in the afternoon.

First conference back
After two covid years we were able to finally exhibit at the BNMS spring meeting. It was an excellent event that enabled us to catch up with customers and suppliers over the course of the 3-day schedule. Having not been able to attend any nuclear medicine or radiopharmacy conferences for such a long time, it was great to be able to finally introduce Light Medical to many new people from the nuclear medicine, radiopharmacy, medical physics and radiology profession. There were some excellent presentations and posters on subjects such as Lu177 therapies, radiation protection, software, quality control and radioisotope management.
We are looking forward to the autumn event in Swansea!

Two days in Liege
The team spent two days this week in Liege as part of their training for the Elysia-Raytest portfolio. It was part of a two day service meeting that enables the service teams from across the world to get together and train on specific areas. The UK team were specifically learning about Gina X software, MiniGITA TLC Scanner, CR35 and AIDA software, GAIA synthesis unit and HPLC detectors and systems. It was great to meet all the other distributors and share stories over a Belgian beer. We look forward to another meeting with the team soon.
