A Safe, Cost-Effective, and User-Friendly Chinese X-ray Irradiator
2025-11-17 09:29Dandong Tongda Science & Technology Co., Ltd. presents the WBK-01 X-ray Irradiator, an innovative product designed to replace traditional radioactive isotope irradiators, providing groundbreaking technological support for global biological research. This equipment utilizes high-energy X-rays specifically for irradiating cells or small animals, significantly streamlining experimental workflows for researchers while delivering safe and efficient experimental conditions for various basic and applied research applications.
Technical Breakthrough: Revolutionizing Traditional Irradiation Methods
The design concept of the WBK-01 X-ray Irradiatorstems from a deep understanding of the limitations of traditional radioactive isotope irradiators. Historically, researchers had to transport samples to core irradiation facilities for experiments, a process that was both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Today, this compact X-ray irradiation device can be directly installed in laboratories, enabling on-demand irradiation operations. With its simple operation, reliable safety features, and significantly reduced usage costs, it serves as an ideal replacement for radioactive isotope sources. Even researchers without specialized X-ray training can easily operate the system, eliminating the need for expensive license applications while avoiding safety or radiation source maintenance costs.

Wide Applications: A Key Tool for Multidisciplinary Research
The WBK-01 X-ray Irradiatordemonstrates extensive application potential across multiple fields. In biomedical research, it effectively irradiates cells or small animals for various fundamental and applied studies. Particularly noteworthy is its crucial role in Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs. By processing pest larvae with X-ray irradiation, researchers can select sterile male insects that, when released into the wild to mate with female counterparts, effectively control pest populations. This technology has been successfully validated in practical applications, including on Sanibel Island, Florida, USA, where researchers achieved complete elimination of green bottle flies through the release of irradiation-sterilized male flies. Another field release trial conducted on the 460-square-kilometer Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao accomplished fly eradication within just seven weeks.
Product Advantages: Safety, Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness
Compared to traditional radioactive isotope equipment, the WBK-01 X-ray Irradiator offers significant performance advantages. The high-energy X-rays generated by the equipment ensure uniform and consistent irradiation, guaranteeing reliable experimental results. In terms of safety performance, the device incorporates comprehensive safety measures that ensure secure and reliable operation while substantially reducing irradiation risks. The equipment also features user-friendly operation, allowing personnel without professional X-ray training to operate it easily, thereby significantly lowering the usage threshold. From an economic perspective, the equipment requires no expensive license applications or safety and radiation source maintenance costs, substantially reducing users' long-term operational expenses.

As global demands for experimental safety and cost-effectiveness continue to increase, Dandong Tongda Technology's WBK-01 X-ray Irradiator is becoming the preferred equipment for more and more laboratories worldwide, thanks to its exceptional performance and broad applicability. This equipment not only represents a breakthrough in irradiation technology but also opens up new possibilities for human scientific exploration and pest control.
