Filtration, Configured Your Way
RS® 2000·Q2 Configurable Filters Now Available
We’re excited to introduce Configurable Filters for the RS 2000·Q2 Biological Irradiator — giving researchers more control, more precision, and more flexibility in shaping the X‑ray beam for their studies.
What’s New
Rad Source has launched Configurable Filters for the RS 2000·Q2, expanding experimental flexibility by allowing researchers to fine‑tune the X‑ray beam profile to the specific requirements of their studies.
- Switch between filters of different materials and thicknesses
- Operate with no additional filtration or add custom filters
- Insert Rad Source’s Thoraeus filter or your own material sheets
- Quick, tool‑free adjustments during experimental setup
Why This Matters
The RS 2000·Q2 is purpose‑built for small‑animal, cell, and tissue irradiation, supporting cancer research, immunology studies, and a wide range of biological applications. Powered by the QUASTAR® X‑ray platform, it delivers exceptional dose uniformity and outperforms outdated point‑source tube systems.
With Configurable Filters, researchers can now shape the beam to match the exact penetration, hardness, or dose distribution needed for their workflow.
How It Works
The filter slide accepts Rad Source’s Thoraeus filter or any user‑provided sheet of material or thickness, giving complete flexibility for custom filtration. Researchers can fine‑tune the beam profile to match the needs of each experiment.
“The RS 2000·Q2, which already leads the industry in symmetry, flatness, penetration, and dose uniformity, is now even more versatile with the ability to quickly tailor the X‑ray beam profile. This added flexibility empowers researchers to optimize dose delivery to the precise requirements of each study.”
— George Terry, Executive Vice President, Rad Source Technologies
Frequently Asked Questions
What are configurable filters?
Configurable filters allow researchers to adjust the X‑ray beam by inserting materials of different thicknesses or compositions.
How do they improve dose precision?
By modifying the beam profile, researchers can achieve more consistent penetration, dose distribution, and energy characteristics.
Can I use my own filter materials?
Yes — the RS 2000·Q2’s filter slide accepts any user‑provided sheet of material or thickness.
Is a Thoraeus filter available?
Yes. Rad Source offers a Thoraeus filter option, and users may also insert their own materials.
