Small animal imaging
Optical bioluminescent/fluorescence and micro CT.
The IVIS Spectrum allows real-time, non-invasive imaging of bioluminescent or fluorescent cells and proteins within a living animal. It can also be used to image tissue samples, multiwell plates, and culture dishes.
The Quantum micro CT is suitable for both in vivo and ex vivo computed tomography X-ray imaging. This instrument combines fast imaging for high throughput while maintaining low dose and high-quality images for live animal imaging. The X-ray dose is low enough for the multiple imaging sessions required for longitudinal preclinical studies.
A mouse imaging shuttle is available to transfer mice from the IVIS Spectrum to the Quantum FX for imaging and co-registration. The optical and CT data sets can be co-registered in 3D.
