Blood Irradiation Box

Features

• Easy to disassemble and clean
• Precise alignment marking
• Rubber feet
• MR/CT Safe

The blood irradiation box is used to position a blood bag while it is being irradiated. This product is made of acrylic and features three nylon thumb screws used to secure the box shut. To open the box, simply loosen the two adjacent thumb screws, and remove the third thumb screw centered on the opposite side of the box. Four more thumb screws, located on the bottom of the box, can be unscrewed to disassemble the five acrylic slabs for easy cleaning. The bottom and cover are each 1.9 cm thick, and the sides are 5.5 cm thick in total. A central axis marker is centered on the top of the box for precision alignment.

Optional filler blocks are available.
