Its operation is simple and safe, enabling use even by personnel without specialized X-ray training. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and Pest Control: This instrument plays a key role in the Sterile Insect Technique. By irradiating pest larvae with X-rays, sterile male insects are selected and released to mate with wild females, thereby controlling or eradicating pest populations. This technology has been successfully applied in countries and regions including the United States, Mexico, and Central America to combat pests like the Mediterranean fruit fly and the African tsetse fly. Technical Advantages & Performance Features: The design of the WBK-01 X-Ray Irradiation Apparatus fully addresses the modern laboratory's needs for safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness. Safety, Convenience & Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to traditional radioisotope irradiators, the WBK-01 is more compact, safer, and simpler to operate. It requires no expensive licensing applications, special safety protections, or complex maintenance of radioactive sources, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership. Reliability through Professional Design: The instrument is capable of generating high-energy X-rays to ensure effective irradiation, while its design emphasizes safety and reliability, guaranteeing user protection. In summary, the WBK-01 X-Ray Irradiation Apparatus from Dandong Tongda Technology has become a powerful tool in life sciences and pest control, thanks to its precise irradiation capabilities, significant safety features, and cost advantages. It is backed by Tongda Technology's profound technical expertise, continuous R&D innovation, and the support of Dandong's well-established industrial cluster known as the "China Radiative Instrumentation Base." This instrument exemplifies Tongda Technology's capability and commitment to achieving import substitution and technological breakthroughs in the field of high-end scientific instrumentation.
