Product Description
Product Description
The RS 2000·Q2 Biological Irradiator is an advanced solution for cancer, immunology, and a wide range of research applications. Powered by our proprietary QUASTAR 2 X-ray platform, it outperforms other biological irradiators with its superior symmetry, flatness, penetration, and dose uniformity. Delivering effective energy comparable to 320 kV point source tubes, the RS 2000·Q2 operates on a standard 120V outlet and does not require an external chiller. Optional RADPlus™ Research Tools further enhance dose uniformity, operational efficiency, and animal comfort.
Features
· Multi-level Chamber Exposure System with Guides
The exposure chamber incorporates a multi level manually adjustable shelf for flexible specimen placement
Concentric circles on the aluminum shelf correspond to the size of the radiation field at a corresponding height

· RADPlus Solutions
Engineered to optimize dose rate and dose uniformity
Proprietary material developed for animal comfort and safety
Irradiating small animals in their cages reduces cross-contamination and provides a less stressful environment

· No Radioactive Source – No Ongoing Regulatory Hassles
Direct Replacement for Nuclear Source Irradiators
Considered "substantially equivalent" to Cesium-137 gamma irradiators
Meets all safety requirements specified in Fed. Reg. 21 CFR 1020.40
No Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) License is required
No nuclear disposal requirements
No additional security requirements for nuclear equipment
No additional safety equipment for laboratory staff

· Onboard Cooling System
No external water source/connection or drain hook-up is needed – allows for convenient facilities placement of instruments for increase workflow efficiency.

· Instrument Portability
Mounted on sturdy castor wheels for convenient portability for flexible placement improving sample workflow efficiency.

· One Day Plug & Play Installation
No water or drain connection to the facility is needed resulting in improved workflow efficiency and flexible unit placement.

· Proven Reliability
For over 20 years and greater than 1000 irradiator installs in renowned hospitals, universities, pharma, government and life science institutions worldwide.

· CIRP – The U.S. Cesium Irradiator Replacement Project
The Department of Energy has spearheaded the CIRP (Cesium Irradiator Replacement Program) which is a subsidizing initiative created to replace gamma isotope-source (Cesium-137 based) irradiators in the US.

Qualified sites will receive:
Removal and disposal of the Cesium-137 irradiator, saving the site approximately $100–$200k per irradiator
A limited payment of up to 50% of the purchase price toward a purchase of the new x-ray replacement device
