Instructions to locate the irradiator training in PEAK are as follows:

• Log into PEAK using your Mount Sinai email and password.
• Under Training Catalog on the top right corner, click “Online Course,” then “Functional,” then navigate to “Radiation Safety” and finally to “Research Irradiator Training Course | 2023.”
• Once completed, email your training certificates to our program manager.

Because the Irradiator is operated by approved users, the first user of the day will need to warm up the equipment, a process which takes about 20 minutes. When scheduling, this should be taken into account.  We assess a service fee of $15 for each 15 minutes of reserved irradiator time, and we irradiate tissue culture cells and mice at the dose rate specified by laboratory staff when samples are dropped off at the CoRE. Each individual laboratory is responsible for ensuring that the cells and animals receive the proper dosage.

It is critical that all researchers acknowledge the Irradiator CoRE in all publications that include any data derived from our facility. In doing so, they ensure that we can continue to provide efficient and reliable irradiation services that accelerate scientific discovery and advance patient care.
