Benchtop cabinet X-ray irradiation system

Descriptions

We require a benchtop cabinet X-ray irradiation system for continuous and controlled irradiation of cell cultures. The unit should be safe and cost-effective. It must be fully shielded for safe installation directly within a standard laboratory, without requiring additional infrastructure modifications. The irradiator should operate across a typical energy range suitable for biological research applications, with adequate tube voltage and current to deliver consistent and uniform cell doses. It should offer programmable or continuous exposure settings to allow flexibility in experimental design, and provide precise, reproducible dose delivery. Integrated systems must ensure uniform dose distribution and maintain thermal stability during operation. The system must be simple to operate, with an intuitive user interface (e.g. touchscreen), and should not require specialist x-ray training. Secure, password-protected access must be provided. The system should automatically record exposure and user activity, with data stored in a database that can be exported (e.g. via USB) for compliance and audit purposes. The irradiation chamber should be large enough to accommodate a range of commonly used biological sample formats. It must provide full and uniform beam coverage across typical culture vessels, with appropriate source-to-sample distance to ensure consistent dose delivery. The unit should have automatic warm-up functions to extend tube life, remote diagnostics and support capability, and certification for electrical safety (e.g. NRTL or equivalent). The system must operate from a standard 100-230 VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply and be suitable for direct connection to a standard laboratory socket.
