The Xstrahl RS320 Molecular Research System

The Xstrahl RS320 X-Ray irradiator enables safe irradiation of in vitro and in vivo biological samples within a laboratory environment.

Meeting the needs of medical and biological research, the RS320 incorporates the irradiation chamber and system electronics in two separate cabinet enclosures. Ionizing radiation is produced by a controllable electronic system. In addition to removing the regulatory burden associated with the use of radioactive sources, the Xstrahl RS320 provides a safer, simpler and less costly alternative to radioisotope irradiators for radiation exposure studies.
