Virus Vaccine Research

One rapidly advancing approach to virus vaccine creation involves the use of ionizing radiation to inactivate the virus. This works by breaking the genetic material inside the virus while allowing the outer antigenic shell to stay intact.

When injected, early studies have shown that genetically inactivated virus particles can induce an immune response in humans to fight future infections by an active strain of the same virus.

Current Radioisotopic Approaches

Current ionizing radiation approaches are effective but use radioactive Cesium, Cobalt or other radioisotopic elements that have become very difficult to employ due to safety and security concerns. Current international standards point towards radioactive sources for viral inactivation.

Precision X-Ray's Safe and Secure Approach

The safe and secure operation of the Precision X-ray systems make them a readily available source of ionizing radiation for the new areas of viral vaccine studies.

Modern interface coupled with robust functionality makes Precision irradiators the perfect choice for novel research questions.

Current Challenges

Requires high dose of X-Rays
Can require long periods of irradiation time - several hours to days

Precision X-Ray has a range of systems that provide 100% duty cycle and can be run 24 hours a day to support these challenging dose requirements.
