Product description
The LB-C-550-650 Lead Brick Cave is the largest standard configuration, providing maximum interior space for complex procedures, multiple source handling, or equipment-intensive workflows. The generous 550 × 650 mm working area accommodates everything from multi-vial preparation setups to quality control procedures requiring several items inside the shielded zone simultaneously.
Maximum working area
When standard cave sizes feel cramped, the LB-C-550-650 delivers the room you need. The full 550mm width accepts larger equipment and side-by-side hand positioning, while 650mm depth provides space for arranging multiple vials, shields, and tools within reach. This configuration suits busy radiopharmacies, research laboratories handling multiple isotopes, and QC stations with instrument setups inside the cave.
This cave ships as a complete brick kit—every piece counted, packaged, and ready for assembly. Stack the interlocking bricks following the chevron profiles and your shielded workspace is operational in minutes. No tools, no adhesives, no specialized skills required.
Full 50mm lead shielding
The LB-50 brick system provides 50mm lead thickness on all cave surfaces. The interlocking joints offset between courses, eliminating direct radiation streaming paths for complete protection. Suitable for typical nuclear medicine and research isotopes including Tc-99m, I-131, F-18, and similar radionuclides.

| Configuration | Inside Width | Inside Depth | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| LB-C-450-550 | 450 mm | 550 mm | Compact workstations, limited bench space |
| LB-C-450-650 | 450 mm | 650 mm | Deeper workspace, standard vial handling |
| LB-C-550-550 | 550 mm | 550 mm | Wider workspace, larger equipment |
| LB-C-550-650 | 550 mm | 650 mm | Maximum working area, multiple items |
Complete the workstation with an L-block
Pair your cave with a tabletop L-block shield for full operator protection. The L-block mounts behind the cave opening, positioning a lead glass window between you and your work. Radiation protection for face and torso without sacrificing visibility—essential for extended procedures in busy facilities.
Browse L-Block Shields for compatible sizes, or explore shielded workstation packages that combine multiple shielding components.
Built to reconfigure
The interlocking design means no permanent installation. Relocate your cave when laboratory layouts change, expand by adding brick courses, or disassemble and redeploy the bricks elsewhere.
