Irradiation

• Maximum Output Voltage: 320kV 
• Maximum Output Current: 45 mA 
• Maximum output power: each 3 kW (cathode, anode) 
• Tube voltage: digital or quasi-continuous preselection and setting from 5 to 320 kV in steps of 0.1 kV 
• Tube voltage digital value display, 4 digits 
• One programmable timer with a non-volatile memory 
• Timer digital setting from 0.1 to 99.9 minutes 
• Timer value digital display, 3 digits 
• Warm-up started manually

• X-ray systems offer far more flexibility regarding volume of product being irradiated 
• Since gamma continuously emits and loses activity, for economic reasons it is mandatory to operate as close as possible to 24/24 7/7. The emitted radiation is wasted. X-ray systems, on the other hand, can be turned off when they are not needed. 
• X-ray is less costly 
• Gamma exposure times can be longer 
• X-ray systems don’t use radioactive sources: no need for nuclear control and license 
• Gamma are more dangerous to human health than X-rays 

• Gamma is smaller and lighter and more portable compared to X-rays 
• Gamma has greater penetrating power 

X-RAD 320 offers accurate, reliable, and repeatable results for a wide range of applications from preclinical cancer research to industrial NDT. 

• Molecular biology of cancer 
• Radiation therapy targeting and delivery 
• Study radiation effects in complex systems 
• Testing Immunotherapy agents with radiation to fight cancer 
• Innovating methods to spare healthy tissue from toxic radiation 
• Forming damage in normal tissue to test treatment efficacy 
• Whole body irradiation to deplete bone marrow to knockdown the immune system 
• X-ray virus inactivation 
• Stem cell research: Radiation can be used to decrease the host’s immune system for introduction of stem cells. Stem cells can also be used to rescue tissue from radiation injury. 
• Cancer research: test novel and current treatments in combination with radiation
