🩻 KUBTEC Scientific’s XCELL 180 is a benchtop irradiator for research applications ranging from cell and tissue irradiation to small animal studies and material testing.

⚡ It offers significantly higher power output than other comparable irradiators with 180 kV, compared to the common 160 kV.

☢️ With its larger chamber capacity and enhanced dose uniformity, the irradiator delivers the necessary throughput that usually only comes with larger, costly freestanding systems.

🧠 The XCELL 180 is ideal for research applications including:

👉 Tumour irradiation
👉 Virus inactivation
👉 Radiotoxicity studies
👉 Agricultural irradiation
👉 Cell line development
👉 Feeder cells, CAR-T cells & NK cells

☢️ With many labs measuring ultra-low levels of radiation at basement level or underground to shield against cosmic radiation, radon presents a new source of background noise.

☁️ The Hidex ULLA ultra-low level analyser allows high-purity nitrogen gas to be flushed through its sample chamber, reducing radon levels to ALARA.

✨ This purges the ULLA's counting chamber, preventing radon's decay products from depositing on internal surfaces.
