BIOLUMINESCENCE, NIR-II IMAGING

Combining High-Sensitivity Tumor Localization and High-Resolution Deep Tissue Tracking

A remarkable advancement in the preclinical field, the SynIRgy system combines bioluminescence, NIR-I and NIR-II imaging for the precise colocalization of tumors (bioluminescence), with the advantage of sharp, high resolution imaging (NIR-II). The NIR-II is a more consistent complementary modality to bioluminescence, able to collect ballistic photons from deeper in the tissue. The combination with NIR-I allows the use the larger list of already validated dyes in this range, before a possible transition to NIR-II. SynIRgy is the perfect combination of the power of NIR-II and the advantages of NIR-I.

In Vivo NIR-II Imaging: Contact-Free Monitoring Heartbeat & Respiratory Rate

High-speed imaging made available by the fast frame rates of InGaAs cameras allows for contact-free cardiography and respiratory rate measurements in both anesthetized and awake animals. Such contact-free measurements of awake mice obtained without the use of any restraining device could drastically change studies procedures in labs.

IR VIVO Guided Tour

IR VIVO is an infrared multispectral imager for small animal studies. This system benefits from reduced light scattering, absorption and auto-fluorescence by using a detection system in the near and short-wave infrared. Visualize your biomarkers in vivo and in real-time with optimized contrast resolution and sensitivity. IR VIVO takes advantage of the most recent developments in SWIR imaging with an ultra-low-noise InGaAs camera (Alizé 1.7 or ZephIR 1.7), novel homogeneous illumination and powerful analytical software to provide an unprecedented combination of fast, high resolution and deep imaging.
