Biospace Lab : Molecular Imaging in Real Time for Life Sciences
Optical Imaging - Scintigraphy - Autoradiography
In vivo optical imaging of small animals in real time
Photon Imager is a modular system for the non-invasive detection, localization and quantification of dynamic optical signal - bioluminescence or fluorescence – from live animals. A unique photon counting technology makes it extremely sensitive from the very start of image acquisition and enables the unparalleled kinetic recording of dynamic processes without the need for setting acquisition time, or pixel binning prior to imaging.
The Beta Imager is a system for digital autoradiography, with high sensitivity, especially for tritium (3H), and high throughput (large field of view). It cuts down time acquisition by up to 500 compared with films: a few hours compared to a few days or a few weeks. The system is a "must-have" for brain receptor studies, which require large series of acquisitions, and is used by a great number of leading pharmaceutical companies for drug development. Its capabilities to discriminate the contributions of several isotopes from a single acquisition makes it also very interesting for applications in nuclear medicine research.
The Micro Imager is a system for digital autoradiography, with high sensitivity and high resolution. It cuts down time acquisition by up to 50 compared with films, with a resolution down to 15 µm. The system has numerous applications and is used by laboratories on topics as diverse as neurosciences, microbiology, cardiology, oncology and physiology, but also developmental biology, vegetal physiology and marine geochemistry. Like the Beta Imager, the Micro Image is able to discriminate the contributions of several isotopes from a single acquisition, a keay feature for applications in nuclear medicine research.
The Gamma Imager is a modular system dedicated to preclinical real-time in vivo nuclear imaging of small animals. The Gamma Imager is a system that can be purchased in different configurations: planar scintigraphy, SPECT, SPECT/CT, 2-head SPECT or SPECT/CT. The system is appreciated for its modularity and its good value for money.
The Beta Microprobe is a unique fibered system for in vivo local measurements of radioactivities. With its thin fiber tip, the system can be inserted in virtually any location in the animal for a precise and accurate quantification of beta emissions. It provides a very low cost, simple alternative to µ-PET for pharmacokinetics, behavior studies, FDG studies, radiotracer development, and input function measurements among others.
Biospace Lab focuses on high-performance imaging equipment for pre-clinical research in drug discovery and biology. Biospace Lab has developed in this field a comprehensive portfolio of in vitro, in vivo and now in actio multimodality small animal imaging solutions used by almost every major pharmaceutical company and many prestigious academic centres worldwide.
