BUFORD, Ga., Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rad Source Technologies, Inc. (Rad Source^®), the global leader in x-ray-based cannabis decontamination, proudly announces the launch of two advanced systems: RS^® 420 Q+ Boost and RS^® 420 MAX. These high-throughput solutions address the growing needs of enterprise cannabis organizations, including MSOs (multi-state operators), toll processors, and large-scale cultivators.

Effortless Operation, Maximum Efficiency
Both systems are designed for simplicity: load sealed flower bags into canisters, close the safety door, press start, and walk away. No monitoring, no turning just let our powerful QUASTAR^® technology thoroughly decontaminate the microbes in your product. Run and done!

Unmatched Performance & Proven Results
Powered by Rad Source’s 3rd-generation QUASTAR x-ray photonic emitters, these systems ensure complete and equal penetration across the full batch and throughout the entire flower when used according to our guidelines. Combined with unique rotators, achieving 99.99% microbial inactivation to non-detect levels, is backed by multiple research studies and customer testimonials.

• Extended Shelf Life: Maintain quality for up to 2 years.
• Preserve Integrity: Independent testing confirms minimal to no impact on cannabinoids, terpenes, moisture, taste, or visual quality.
