Gammabeam X200 Research Irradiator

Dry storage panoramic field irradiator with a large field size, for applications such as secondary standards dosimetry, sterile insect programmes and medical research.

The Gammabeam X200 is a dry storage panoramic field irradiator suited to a broad spectrum of applications, including secondary standards dosimetry, sterile insect programmes and medical or veterinary research. A graphic user interface and touchscreen on the control console provide easy routine operation and diagnostics, and Best Theratronics provides a standard shielded-room drawing on which site-specific design plans can be based.

  • Field light and ODI ensure that the product is contained within the beam
  • High or low dose depending on distance from the source
  • Asymmetric collimator jaws provide flexible field configurations
  • Irradiation time is monitored and controlled by two independent timers
  • Battery based power supply system allows uninterrupted unit operation
