Gammacell 40 Exactor Research Irradiator
Low dose-rate research irradiator with two Caesium-137 sources, for precise irradiation of cell cultures, blood components and murine models.
The Gammacell 40 Exactor is a low dose-rate irradiator with a wide range of applications in radioimmunology, radiosensitivity and cell biology, such as the irradiation of mitotically inactive cell culture media, mixed lymphocyte cultures and cellular blood components. Its large ventilated sample container also makes it an excellent research tool for the development of murine models for cancer therapy.
- Two Caesium-137 sources and an electric drive mechanism give accurate results regardless of where specimens are placed
- Timer settings in increments of 1 second up to 100 hours, with manual or automatic operation
- Large ventilated sample chamber that swings out from the unit for loading and unloading
- Redundant systems monitor irradiation time and position of sources
- Irradiation cycle data is automatically logged and can be viewed via web browser
