Fast Imaging System with Maximized Flexibility for Fluorescent Protein Imaging in Vivo
13 May 2015Through the use of fully automated large format optics, the UVP iBox is capable of fluorescent protein imaging with a range of cameras that use front and back illuminated CCDs with sizes up to a 43 mm diagonal, greatly expanding the applications for high resolution. In this application note, the analysis of mouse models using CFP, GFP, and RFP for cancer metastasis and treatment will be used to illustrate the imaging advantages of the UVP iBox system.

In Vivo Imaging Systems<i>In vivo</i> imaging systems, including pre-clinical imaging systems and medical imaging systems are used to non-invasively visualize and capture images of live animals and plants. Monitor the natural processes or diseases of your subjects using small-animal pre-clinical imaging systems, including single photon positron emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (micro-CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, ultrasound, fluorescence and bioluminescence imagers. Multimodal systems and software solutions are also available for correlative analysis of organ, tissue, cell, or molecular-level processes.

Fluorescence can be detected and measured for different purposes using microplate readers, fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence scanners, and flow cytometers.Small Animal ImagingSmall animal imaging is the visualization of living animals, most commonly mice and rats, for research purposes. This non-invasive technique is vital for long-term studies into drugs effects, as well as small animal anatomy and physiology.
