RadDisk™
Rodent Microisolation
Irradiator Disk
Using multiple Rad Disk™,
it is possible to conduct sequential irradiations on groups of up to 20
mice (without dividers) without the need of autoclaving cages between
each use, because the interior of the Rad Disk™
maintains a filter protected sterile environment. Rad Disk™
uses a patented offset design that allows vertical stacking of cages so
that adequate airflow reaches each cage. |
 |
|
The filtered cage prevents
contamination during and after irradiation, and during transport in and
out of animal rooms.
Because Rad Disk™
is constructed of polycarbonate plastic, it is autoclaveable. The cage
is 4” high and 10 ¾” in diameter, designed to fit into Gammacell 40 or
Nordion irradiator loading chambers.
|
Used as directed, Rad Disk™ prevents
contamination of mice during the irradiation process even when
irradiator is located outside of the animal rooms or facility. |
 |
|
Rad Disk™ comes complete
with a removable divider system which can divide the cage into 4 to 8
separate compartments, if desired, for irradiation. The cage can also
be used without the dividers thus allowing the free ranging mice to
receive more uniform irradiation exposure. |
