IC-160 Specimen Irradiation System

The IC-160 is intended for use in the precise, repeatable irradiation of biological specimens in a research environment.  It is a safe, cost effective replacement for Cesium irradiators that employs an electrically generated irradiation source completely contained in a shielded cabinet to safely irradiate biologicals in a laboratory environment - no NRC licensing is required.

The source of radiation consists of; a precision, state of the art high frequency x-ray generator, a liquid cooled, metal-ceramic x-ray tube with closed loop heat exchanger, and a contemporary, computer-based, user friendly control console.

Features:

Kimtron Polaris High Voltage Generator
•  State of the art high frequency, low ripple dc output
•  Automatic tube warm–up
•  Touch panel controls, to select kV, mA, and time.
•  Compact and light weight (<150 pounds)

Varian Metal Ceramic X-Ray Tube
•  Stationary Anode
•  Water cooled via closed loop, self-contained system
•  Rated for 160kV, 3000 Watt continuous operation

Benefits
•  Environmentally responsible design
•  No hazardous nuclear waste or disposal issues
•  highly efficient power consersion devices (>90%)
•  No cooling water waste (self contained cooling system)
•  No oil to leak or spill

Kimtron Polaris SC 500/m Controller
•  Remote diagnostics. Should a problem arise, kimtron technical support staff can communicate directly with the IC160 via telephone line to    determine what, if any, problem exists.
•  Robust, Industrial–grade graphical user interface.
•  Touch panel controls, to select kV, mA, and time.
•  long life LED lamps; no light bulbs to "burn out".
•  Tube–Safe feature shuts system down in the event of tube arcing or overheating.
