What is it?
The Gammacell® 40 Exactor is designed to be a stand-alone research irradiator.
Manufacturer: Best Theratronics Ltd
Model Name: The Gammacell® 40 Exactor
Applications: The Gammacell® 40 has a wide range of applications in radioimmunology, radiosensitivity and cell biology. It is ideal for the irradiation of mitotically inactive cell culture media, mixed lymphocyte cultures and cellular blood components. The Gammacell® 40 also has a large, ventilated sample container which makes it an excellent research tool for the development of murine models for cancer therapy.
Instrument Overview: The Gammacell® 40 Exactor, with its state-of-the-art control system, is engineered to give precise results. Timer settings can be chosen in increments of 1 second up to 100 hours, and the control system allows manual or automatic operation. Dose uniformity is ensured through the use of two Caesium-137 sources and an electric drive mechanism which provides accurate results regardless of where specimens are placed in the large sample container.
Technical features and specifications:
Superior Performance • Excellent dose uniformity Typical maximum to minimum ratio is 1.14 in a container 260 mm (10.2 in) diameter and 100 mm (3.9 in) height. The central dose rate is 1.0 Gy/minute ±15%.
Accurate Results • Achieved with state-of-the-art microprocessor control and dependable electric drive.
Safe to Use • Safe in any conventional laboratory environment. Characteristic Best® Theratronics’ measurements indicate 6 µSv/h (0.6 mrem/h) at 1 metre from the source and 20 µSv/h (2 mrem/h) at 5 cm from any surface of the unit.
Easy to Operate • Equipped with a multi-line display screen and user-friendly instructions. The control panel gives current status and guides initial set-up as well as offering varying levels of security based on operator identify cation and PIN access. Automatic Logging • Irradiation cycle data is automatically logged in a database. This database can be viewed and saved via web browser access. Alternatively, a printer can be connected to record cycle data.
Added Security • Restricts access to the control system’s programming function, with security passwords and a keypad controlled by a key lock.
Battery Back-up • Internal battery provides back-up in event of AC power failure.
