Radiopharmacy & Cyclotron Support Labs
Total Precision Cleanrooms Aust were awarded the new state of the art Radiopharmacy and Cyclotron support labs, designed and built using the highly regarded French cleanroom system Dagard.
The South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) was built to ensure South Australia’s strong position in health and medical research into the future. The building has a world first fully integrated building system and was the first to integrate BIM as part of the design process.
It is designed to house up to 675 researchers in fully flexible laboratory spaces. Labs on level 5, 6 and 7 meet PC2 + QC2 lab standards. The animal house is also to PC2 + QC2 standards, with rooms that can be fumigated. Lab areas incorporate media preparation, cage washers, glass washers and autoclaves.
The nine research modules consist of 33% dry and 67% wet laboratory spaces, a small vivarium and a cyclotron particle accelerator that is the first cyclotron in South Australia, constructed to a pharmaceutical production standard for isotope production used in medical imaging with hot and cold pharmacy suites to clean rooms class C&D.
