  1. Cesium Irradiators and Alternative Technologies Technical DiscussionBest Theratronics January 29-30, California , USA

  2. Introduction • Best Theratronics is a manufacturer of very reliable medical and research equipment for over 40 years • Products sold worldwide in over 100 countries • Manufacturer of Cesium and X-ray irradiators • Active participant in the security upgrade program of Gammacell irradiators • New products added to the portfolio Manufacturer’s Facts

  3. General Products Presentation Best Theratronics - Sealed Sources Irradiators • Gammacell 1000/3000: blood, blood products and tissue • Gammacell 40: research ( mostly medical)

  4. General Products Presentation • Best Theratronics - X-ray Sources Irradiator • Raycell Mk2 : blood, blood products and tissue

  5. Blood Irradiators Timeline - Blood and Blood Products Irradiators • In July 1969, First Gammacell 1000 was installed and later in 1991 the Gammacell 3000 irradiator was added to the blood irradiators product line • Gammacell 1000/3000 unit is the “workhorse” for blood irradiation in many hospitals and independent blood banks • Early in 2004 Best Theratronics entered the market of X-ray blood irradiators • Raycell Mk2 is Theratronics’ current generation Raycell blood irradiator

  6. Research Irradiators Timeline - Research Irradiators • In July 1971, Gammacell 40 research irradiator was released to the market • Gammacell 40 is a reliable, low cost and easy to operate unit, used by universities and research facilities • Best Theratronics has capabilities and experience to develop an X-ray irradiator targeted for research • More than 10 years of experience with X-ray irradiators

  7. Summary • Current technological capabilities still pose challenges for X-ray equipment manufacturers • Some of the current technological shortcomings may be mitigated but at a considerable additional cost • Research activities are diverse and continuously changing • Specific guidelines and technical requirements for research irradiation activities are limited, targeted and cannot be easily shifted and shared with other research experiments
