Cell tissue irradiation apparatusUsually, radioactive isotopes (such as cobalt-60 or cesium-137) or accelerators are used as radiation sources to accelerate electrons at high voltages, causing them to collide with metal targets (such as tungsten targets). The inner layer electrons of the target material atoms are excited to a high energy level and quickly transition back to a low energy level, releasing energy in the form of X-rays. These high-energy X-rays are then directed and irradiated onto biological samples. Due to the varying sensitivity and absorption capacity of different biological tissues and cells to X-rays, their structure or function can be influenced or altered by precise control of radiation parameters such as irradiation time, irradiation dose, and radiation energy.

　　Cell tissue irradiation apparatusApplication fields:

Biological research:

Illuminate specific DNA sequences to inhibit or promote processes such as DNA transcription, replication, and repair, and study gene regulation and expression mechanisms.

Inducing genetic mutations in cells and providing mutant cell lines for cytogenetic research.

Study cell cycle regulation and analyze changes in cell cycle progression by irradiating cells at different stages.

Medical field:

Collaborate with technologies such as radioactive isotopes and probes for tumor treatment, cancer diagnosis, and research on biomarkers. For example, by irradiating tumor cells, the mechanism of apoptosis in tumor cells can be explored.

In stem cell research, observe the differentiation of stem cells into different cell types.

Drug development:

Evaluate the protective or therapeutic effects of drugs on radiation damage, providing a basis for the development of radiation protection drugs and tumor treatment drugs. For example, in the process of drug screening, a cell tissue irradiation instrument is used to simulate the radiation environment and test the protective effect of drugs on cell radiation damage.
