Abstract

32P is the most widely used isotope in molecular biology laboratories and a high-energy beta-emitter. Local doses are often underestimated and plexiglass shielding converts some energy into penetrating gamma radiation. We describe a series of equipment that reduces local doses and gamma radiation more efficiently than traditional equipment and at the same time facilitates the handling of the isotopes.
