Gammacell 40 cs 137 irradiator

Manufactured by Nordion

The Gammacell 40 Cs-137 irradiator is a self-contained irradiation system designed for research applications. It utilizes a Cesium-137 radioactive source to provide a controlled and uniform radiation field for the irradiation of samples or specimens.

Sublethal total body γ irradiation (550-600 cGy) was performed
using a Gammacell 40 Cs-137 irradiator (MDS Nordion, Mississauga, ON) with a
dose rate of 64-68 cGy/min. Irradiated mice were confined in an acrylic
irradiation chamber and sham irradiated animals were confined in an identical
irradiation chamber for the same amount of time required for the
irradiations.

Total Body Gamma Irradiation Impacts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Total body gamma irradiation of spontaneously hypertensive rats given sub-lethal (0.5, 3.0, and 5.0Gy) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats given lethal irradiation (10.0Gy) was produced with a Gammacell 40 Cs-137 irradiator (MDS Nordion, Mississauga, ON). The dose rate range of the irradiator was determined to be 64–68 cGy/min using Gafchromic EBT-XD dosimetry film (Bridgewater, NJ) that is placed in the middle of two high density polyethylene panels, performed annually. Four unanesthetized animals were placed in a plastic irradiation container with individual compartments at one time. Animals in the control group were sham-irradiated for the same periods of time as needed for irradiations.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
