High-end benchtop preclinical imaging

NiraWave optical imaging agents are novel dyes and nanomaterials ideal for the study of vascular fine structure, disease-related vascular changes and tumors.

The Alpha-SPECT mini is a high-performance SPECT imaging system for preclinical research (mice and rats). It features high performance CZT sensors providing an unparalleled energy resolution. The scanner offers an ultra-wide stationary FOV to allow for TRU whole-body dynamic scanning of both mice and rats.

Annexin V fluorescent conjugates can be used to detect apoptotic cells. Annexin V is available conjugated to a wide variety of dyes.

Fluorescent dyes optimized for staining endospores. The dyes also stain both live and dead bacteria of gram-positive and gram-negative strains. In B. subtilis, the dyes stain both vegetative cells and endospores and have been validated for detection by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.

Professional services for site-specific or random labeling of proteins with a variety of tags, including fluorescent dyes, biotin, enzymes, and isotopes, for detection and tracking.

There is growing demand for anesthesia equipment designed for small laboratory animals. RWD designs and manufactures complete anesthesia systems and accessories for the smallest preclinical research subjects. These systems are designed to deliver highly effective anesthesia with depth modulation. RWD systems are also designed with user safety as a priority. The system includes excellent waste gas scavenging to protect users fr…

Myelotracker® is a cutting-edge fluorescent probe that enables precise detection of neutrophils—essential immune cells—in both blood and tissue samples. It offers researchers a dependable tool for exploring inflammation, infections, and immune system activity.

Phantech has developed the Bio-Mouse™; the first fillable biomimetic mouse phantom with Computed Tomography (CT) Hounsfield Unit (HU) density-equivalent bone and soft tissue.

Fluorescent WGA conjugates that are optimized for bright staining of extracellular vesicles for flow cytometry.

The DELab micro computed tomography-100 (µCT-100) is designed specifically for in vivo imaging of small laboratory animals and ex vivo isolated samples. Research applications of the system range from musculoskeletal and metabolic disease, oncology, drug/therapeutic development, cardiology, anatomy, food science, and geology.

The Prodigy is a compact, high-performance ultrasound system optimized for a variety of ultrasound engineering research applications. There are 2 available configurations within the Prodigy architecture: one with 256 transmit/receive channels that supports multiplexing up to 512 transducer channels, and the other one with 128 transmit/receive channels.

Imalytics Preclinical is a software for fast interactive segmentation, reconstruction, 3D visualization, and analysis of biomedical image data sets with a user-friendly interface. It supports 3D, 4D, and 5D image data from any modality if the file format is supported. It has been used to analyze (multimodal) data sets from CT, PET, SPECT, MRI, US, FLT, and BLT.

Fluorescent CF® Dye tyramides are used for tyramide signal amplification (TSA) for increasing immunofluorescence sensitivity in multicolor immunocytochemistry (ICC), immunohistochemistry (IHC), or in situ hybridization (ISH).

Scintica’s micro PVC phantoms are available in 3 sizes (27 mm OD, 34 mm OD, and 49 mm OD). These phantoms consist of one custom manufactured component and three separate pieces of commercial hardware for assembly. They have three separate voids, one with a series of spheres for a contrast recovery curve, one with a separately fillable warm background, and a final separate reference volume that can be optionally filled.

Near-IR Annexin V fluorescent conjugates can be used to detect apoptotic cells and are suitable for in vivo imaging.

LysoView™ fluorescent dyes label lysosomes in live cells without a wash step, and are available in multiple colors with options for super-resolution imaging.
