We want to bring to the School of Life Sciences an X-Ray research irradiator cabinet for
biological samples, to support studies by several groups in the School of Life Sciences of the
Authority, including:
- Biology of long-term radiation toxicity
- Development and characterisation of new radio-sensitiser drugs
- Inactivation of infectious viruses for molecular studies outside Containment Level 2
laboratories.
- Others that may be pursued in the future, with internal or external collaborators.
To support this variety of studies, the instrument must have the following capabilities:
- To produce a broad range of photon energies (from the low tens of keV to at least 300 keV,
so the biological effects can be as similar as possible to those of 137Cs-generated gamma
rays).
- To control the current intensity of origin and the distance to source, to have a broad range
of dose rates available.
- To include several beam filters, to have different levels of ‘hardness’ of the incident energy
spectrum.
