The RS 2000·Q2 is purpose‑built for small‑animal, cell, and tissue irradiation, supporting cancer research, immunology studies, and a wide range of other biological applications. Powered by Rad Source’s third‑generation QUASTAR® X-ray platform, the RS 2000·Q2 delivers exceptional dose uniformity for consistent, reproducible experimental outcomes. This advanced technology significantly outperforms the outdated point‑source tube systems still used in competitive irradiators.

With the new Configurable Filters feature, users can easily switch between filters of varying materials and thicknesses to fine‑tune the characteristics of the X‑ray beam. Depending on study needs, researchers may operate the RS 2000·Q2 without additional filtration or apply a specific filter to achieve the desired beam profile. A Thoraeus filter is available from Rad Source, and users may also insert their own sheets of any material or thickness into the filter slide, providing complete flexibility for custom filtration.
