FluorVivo™
Partnering with AntiCancer Inc. ( www.anticancer.com ), INDEC BioSystems
proudly announces FluorVivo to the market. FluorVivo™ is a complete,
turn-key system for quantitative fluorescence imaging of small animals
in vivo.
Approach
- Tissues are selectively induced to express fluorophores such
as GFP or RFP
- FluorVivo’s stable light source excites those fluorophores
in situ
- FluoVivo’s digital camera (color or monochrome) collects
emission images
- The imaging is noninvasive and high resolution (megapixel)
- FluorVivo software measures sizes of structures and quantifies
intensities
- Complete reporting and data archival facilities are built into
the system
Applications
- Fluorescence screening of small animals with expressed fluorescent
markers
- Tumor and metastasis burden assessment
- Drug efficacy testing
- Pharmacokinetics of internalized substances
- Quantitative measurement of fluorescent objects, e.g. tumor burden
- Continuous or time lapse monitoring
Benefits
- Fast, uncomplicated acquisition of fluorescence images
- Easy-to-use, powerful visualization tools help you separate object
from autofluorescence background
- Area and length calibration
- Data archival allows adding new data as experiments progress
over days or weeks
- Date and time stamping allows as-you-go analysis
- Affordable low-end system
- FluorVivo image data can further analyzed and visualized in Power
Analysis Station, the INDEC BioSystems software with a superset
of analysis features.
- FluorVivo is one of INDEC BioSystems family of products for acquisition
and analysis of images for live cells and animals
Components
- Digital camera (monochrome or color models available)
- Dark chamber
- Fluorescence excitation source
- Computer (optional)
- Image acquisition and analysis software
- Package includes one day’s training at the facilities of
AntiCancer, Inc., in San Diego, CA, USA (travel costs not included)
