The WBK-01 X-ray irradiator generates high-energy X-rays to irradiate cells or small animals. X-ray irradiator is used for various basic and applied research. Throughout history, radioactive isotope irradiators have been used, which require transporting samples to a core irradiation facility. Today, smaller, safer, simpler, and lower cost X-ray irradiator can be installed in laboratories for convenient and rapid irradiation of cells. Various samples can be directly irradiated in the laboratory without affecting fertility or safety. The X-ray irradiator is easy to use for personnel without professional X-ray training, and there are no expensive license applications or safety or radiation source maintenance costs. This device is easy to operate, safe, reliable, and cost-effective, and can replace radioactive isotope sources.
1. Principle of X-ray irradiator:
The X-ray tube in the X-ray irradiator generates high-energy electrons, which produce X-rays when they collide with the target material (usually tungsten). Accelerating electrons through a high-voltage electric field to obtain sufficient energy to generate the required X-ray wavelength and intensity. Then, the X-rays are adjusted and optimized through a series of collimators, filters, and other devices, and finally irradiated onto the sample.
The main components of an X-ray irradiator are:
The X-ray irradiator mainly includes X-ray tubes, high-voltage generators, control circuits, cooling systems, safety protection devices, and sample rooms. Among them, the X-ray tube is the core component responsible for generating X-rays; The high-voltage generator provides the required high voltage and current for the X-ray tube; The control circuit is used to control parameters such as the generation, intensity, and irradiation time of X-rays; The cooling system ensures that the equipment will not be damaged due to overheating during operation; The safety protection device ensures the safety of operators and the usage environment.
3. Application areas of X-ray irradiator:
The X-ray irradiator can be used in the field of biology: it can be used for cell culture and division inhibition research, gene change induction, stem cell research, small animal irradiation, T-B cell research, blood cell research, bone marrow transplantation irradiation, transplantation immunity, immunosuppressive therapy, radiation sensitivity research, DNA damage research, etc.
The X-ray irradiator can be used in the medical field: in tumor treatment, it can be used to locally irradiate the tumor site, kill cancer cells or inhibit their growth; The X-ray irradiator can also be used as an auxiliary diagnosis for certain diseases, such as helping to determine the condition by observing the imaging changes of tissues and organs through X-rays.
The X-ray irradiator can be used in the food industry: it can be used for food irradiation preservation, killing microorganisms in food through X-ray irradiation, inhibiting enzyme activity, thereby extending the shelf life of food while maintaining its original taste and nutritional content.
The X-ray irradiator can be used in the industrial field: it can be used for material performance testing and modification, such as cross-linking treatment of polymer materials to improve their strength and stability; It can also be used for non-destructive testing to detect defects and cracks inside materials.
In summary, X-ray irradiator is an important scientific and industrial device with broad application prospects and value.
