FluorVivo™ 100

The FluorVivo Model 100 represents the next step in in vivo fluorescence imaging of small animals. Developed by INDEC BioSystems in cooperation with AntiCancer, Inc., the Model 100 performs in vivo whole body imaging of fluorescent structures with fixed magnification. It is suitable for a broad range of scientific applications, from basic research to pre-clinical drug screens.

The Model 100 is fully upgradeable to accommodate multiprobe applications and can be complemented by a variable magnification option, the FluorVivo Mag. FluorVivo is a personal instrument, that complements your exiting fluorescence instruments and is available at a fraction of the cost of other in vivo imaging systems. FluorVivo brings the power of in vivo imaging and analysis both to core facilities and the individual laboratory.

Essential and Unique Features of the Model 100

In vivo fluorescence imaging for a single probe (FluorVivo Probe List)
When used for GFP, it is optimized for simultaneous imaging (in a single exposure) of both GFP and RFP
Real time multicolor imaging – images are in full color
Live video imaging and recording – perfect for fluorescence surgery applications
Quantitative – manual and automated analysis capabilities included
A complete, turn-key system with the lowest cost of ownership on the market

Applications

Applications in basic research include studies of gene expression and apoptosis, tumor growth and angiogenesis, and metastasis and invasion. Pre-clinical applications include drug screenings, drug targeting, and validation of animal models.

The Power of Fluorescence Imaging

Speed – exposure times are typically less than 1/10th of a second
Efficiency – streamlined operation, even by a single person
Convenience – anesthesia is rarely required
Simplicity – a gentle animal restraint is usually sufficient
Economy – no costly injected substrates needed
Flexibility – genetic control of expression of multiple, distinct fluorescent proteins permit almost unlimited experimental possibilities
Future prospects – will take optimal advantage of new markers (e.g. new fluorescent proteins, quantum dots)

More than the Sum of its Parts

Imaging with FluorVivo can be as simple as this:
Place the animal in its restraint and place the restraint in the chamber. Then click the button to begin collecting data – each acquisition takes only a fraction of a second.
FluorVivo’s quantitative capabilities for measurement and image analysis, together with its reporting tools, make data analysis as simple and reliable as taking a picture.
The unprecedented ease of use and cost-effectiveness make FluorVivo an important tool for molecular imaging, for both basic and pre-clinical research. This unique combination of capabilities and affordability make FluorVivo the most cost-effective in vivo fluorescence imaging system available on the market today.
