Research Irradiators

Hopewell Designs, Inc. is pleased to offer a new line of research irradiators. Designed to meet the needs of medical and biological research, they are well suited to research in cell biology, oncology, radioimmunology, radiosensitivity, and additional applications.

Each irradiator is designed with the research scientist in mind.  They provide excellent beam uniformity in a simple design.  An electronic control panel allows quick setup and monitors the irradiation.  Safety systems and shielding design make these systems safe and reliable.

 

Model XR50 X-Ray Research Irradiator

The Model XR50 Research X-Ray Irradiator is a fully self-contained
X-ray irradiation system that offers maximum dose at a choice of 160kV, 225kV, or 320 kV. With no additional shielding required and fail-safe design, the cabinet offers a safe, easy-to-use system ideal for the research laboratory environment. The exposure chamber is 10 mm diameter x 200 mm tall.

Model GR30 Gamma Research Irradiator

The fully self-contained Model GR30 Research Gamma Irradiator provides high doses in short times in exact and repeatable protocols. Small in size and simple to use, the GR30 offers Cs-137 sources from 200 Ci to 2400 Ci for a range of exposures.

Typical exposure rates at the center of the chamber are:

• 2400 Ci = 1,550 cGy/min
• 900 Ci = 580 cGy/min
• 400 Ci  = 260 cGy/min
• 200 Ci  = 130 cGy/min

Model GR50 Gamma Research Irradiator

The Model GR50 Gamma Research Irradiator provides the same features as the Model GR30, but has a mid-sized exposure chamber (200 mm x 200 mm x 200 mm).

Typical exposure rates at the center of the chamber are:

• 2200 Ci = 550 cGy/min
• 1200 Ci = 300 cGy/min
• 300 Ci = 110 cGy/min

Model BX3-BR Gamma Research Irradiator

The Model BX3-BR Gamma Research Irradiator produces a beam of gamma radiation of varying strengths for irradiating biological specimens inside a fully shielded enclosure. The large exposure chamber and variable distance to the radiation source offers the maximum flexibility for research and irradiation projects. The exposure chamber is 805 mm x 440 mm x 650 mm tall.

Typical exposure rates at the center of the chamber are:

• 2200 Ci = 11 to 35 cGy/min
• 1200 Ci = 6 to 19 cGy/min
• 450 Ci = 2 to 7 cGy/min
