Meeting the needs of medical and biological research, the CIX2 is a self-contained cabinet incorporating the irradiation chamber and system electronics in one enclosure. The software interface allows for multiple user logins, while X-ray exposures can be programmed and executed automatically. In addition to removing the health and safety burden associated with the use of radioactive sources, the Xstrahl CIX2 provides a safer, simpler and less costly alternative to radioisotope irradiators for radiation exposure studies.

The CIX2 X-ray research irradiator cabinet consists of:
Lead shielded irradiation chamber
Movable operator control panel with an intuitive touch screen interface
Beam hardening filters, which tailor the maximum depth of penetrating X-rays to suit your research
Counterbalanced vertical access door, resulting in a smaller footprint and safe, easy access to specimens
