The Biodex Germfree Shielded Isolator provides the ultimate in both product and operator protection. Quality features such as full-view glass and electronic height adjustment are some of the unique features found only with the Biodex Isolator, setting it apart from the competition. The Shielded Isolator functions as a "glovebox" using negative pressure to meet NIOSH recommendations while complying with USP<797> regulations for use outside a cleanroom environment. I have spoken to many technologists about the isolator and they are all thrilled about having a solution to interruptions in their day. The Isolator eliminates the need to suit up, which everyone recognizes as a huge time saver. >>

I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Ann Marie Alessi, Product Sales Manager at Biodex and on June 7th, 2011 at our Annual meeting, in San Antonio, I became president of the Society of Nuclear Medicine Technologist Section (SNMTS). What a successful meeting it was!

It was a successful meeting with more than 5,500 physicians, technologists, physicists, scientists and exhibitors in attendance. In addition to the more than 70 continuing education sessions, 1,818 scientific papers and posters were presented at the meeting and 165 companies were represented on the exhibit hall floor. For me the Annual meeting was a marathon of governance and liaison organization meetings.

Having one year on the SNMTS leadership team under my belt, I can say that I have learned much over the past months and am excited to lead the SNMTS membership as president for the 2011-2012 term. >>
