The natural radioisotope cesium-137 was used as the source for ionizing ray generation, which occurs from radioactive nuclei at α Decay β New nuclei generated after decay tend to be at high energy level, to transition to low energy level, and radiate out γ Photons. Both nuclear decay and nuclear reactions can result γ Ray. γ The wavelength of the ray is shorter than that of X-ray; therefore, γ Rays have an even stronger penetration ability than X-rays. γ X-ray biology irradiators have the advantages of harness energy homogeneity, constant output and strong penetration, which are suitable for the irradiation of cells, small animals in basic biological research, or have special requirements for irradiation. Gammacell ® 40 exactor uses cesium-137, a natural radioisotope, as a radioactive source and has many advantages such as long half-life, energy homogeneity, constant output, and dose homogeneity. With its accuracy and reproducibility as well as unparalleled precision and versatility, Gammacell ® 40 exactor is widely used in research spanning radioimmunology, radiosensitivity, cell biology, oncology, and genes.
