FAQs

Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation—like X-rays but with higher energy. They are photons without mass or electrical charge, which allows them to penetrate materials more easily than charged particles.

Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei. These particles contain two protons and two neutrons, giving them a significant mass relative to other types of radiation, and they carry a positive charge.

Learn more by understanding the difference between gamma and alpha radiation rays.

We offer a wide array of radiation shielding solutions including lead-free radiation shielding such as Tungsten and Bismuth materials.

Tungsten shielding is highly valued in applications where precision is a key concern. Its higher density compared to lead makes tungsten an excellent choice for reducing radiation exposure in smaller, more confined spaces. 

Lead shielding has been the go-to choice for radiation shielding for decades due to its effectiveness and cost-efficiency. It’s particularly favored in large-scale projects.

Glove bag containments allow work to be performed on potentially contaminated items by personnel wearing a minimum of protective clothing. Access to the glove bag interior via gloved sleeves enables repairs or manipulations without directly contacting contaminated surfaces.

Managing spills, leaks, and drips with a catch containment is essential to prevent contamination and maintain a safe environment.

Choose Lancs Industries for catch containment systems that are built to provide an advanced level of protection and efficiency.

The most common pharmaceutical containment systems are isolators, including Compounding Aseptic Isolators, Compounded Aseptic Containment Isolators, and Restricted Access Barrier Systems (RABS).

Lancs Industries is proud to offer advanced details and a custom solution to pharmaceutical isolator needs.

Our custom-designed filters can be produced in various sizes and shapes. These flat and flexible panel filters can be welded or heat sealed by Lancs Industries into polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polyurethane (PU) plastic film.
