Abstract: An apparatus for the manufacture of radiopharmaceuticals includes a lead chamber (6) and a loading device (5) on which a chemical system is mounted in the form of a disposable kit (5). The apparatus includes a first suspension device (9) which functions to move the loading device in a radiation-safe manner between a loading position externally of the lead chamber and a working position within the lead chamber. A second suspension device is provided for releasing a consumed disposable kit from the loading device, such as to enable the consumed kit to fall down into a bottom section (8) of the lead chamber, this bottom section serving as a waste chamber.
