Applications of X-ray Irradiation in the Laboratory
The penetrating properties of ionizing radiation can inactivate microorganisms and can be used for research, as well as to sterilize or reduce the microbial load of many different types of products.
- The penetrating properties of ionizing radiation can inactivate microorganisms. Ionizing radiation is used for several different purposes, including, virus inactivation for research, as well as to sterilize or reduce the microbial load of many different types of products such as medical devices, packaging, cosmetics, foods, and agriculture products.
- It includes several applications such as Sterilization of insects, Cell Research, Mouse Studies, Immunotherapy, and Sterilizing viruses.
- The X-ray Irradiator utilized in the laboratory is the KUBTEC ®XCELL 225 ® full-size system.
