In vivo imaging with bioluminescence: Performing a luciferin kinetic curve in mice
30 Apr 2020An important consideration prior to performing a bioluminescence imaging (BLI) study is finding the window with which the emission from the luciferase-luciferin reaction peaks. The kinetics of the reaction can vary between substrates as well as tissue types and injection routes. Therefore, researchers should perform a kinetic curve study. In this application note, Analytik Jena provides a protocol and results from a kinetic curve study on nude mice, using the UVP iBox Scientia Small Animal Imaging 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.
