Cesium-137 γ-ray facility

 Facility
The irradiation facility can be used to irradiate cells or materials. The equipment is user-friendly allowing researchers to customize the dose to their own requirements and is safe to operate.

The cesium source is available for researchers in need of photon irradiation. The machine is safe and easy to operate independently after an introduction and is available if necessary 24/7. The applied dosage can be modified by each user according to their needs.

Multiple cell plates or tubes can be irradiated simultaneously. There is a clear instructions sheet for operating at the machine itself which is updated annually.
