Iodination Laboratory
Iodination involves using relatively high concentrations of I-125 or I-131 Sodium Iodide, which is known to be volatile in air and readily absorbed by the thyroid gland if inhaled or absorbed internally. To comply with environmental regulations by minimizing all radioactive discharges, an activated charcoal hood designed to trap radioactive iodine was installed for use by investigators. The facility is also equipped with a state-of-the-art gamma counter for sample counting at the convenience of the investigator.

Cell and Animal Irradiation
The irradiation core is capable of a wide range of radiation dose rates for a variety of purposes, such as cell suspensions, animal tumors, and other partial body irradiations. For more information, please contact us.
Irradiations can be performed for external users and contractors. Please contact Michael Zgaljardic at 646-962-4567 to schedule Irradiation. To learn more, visit the Cell and Animal Irradiation page on the WCM Research website.
Radioisotope Sample Counting
The radiation counting core is equipped with instruments used for the detection and analysis of alpha (>4MeV), beta, and gamma radioactive materials. The equipment can quantify the amount and type of radioactive materials in samples over a wide range of activity levels for various research and regulatory applications.
