Optical imaging toolbox

U-SPECT-II, U-SPECT-II/CT and VECTor can be provided with a “darkroom” to extend your research lab to quadruple imaging capabilities integrated in one single device.

Pathogen free multi-modality imaging cells

Multiple mouse bed
Four mice in a single bed for high throughput imaging

Multi modality interchangeable beds

All beds are specially designed for the U-SPECT and the U-CT. These beds are made of PMMA, a strong transparent material suitable for SPECT scans and x-ray CT. Several dedicated rat and mouse models are available with several options for your dedicated applications.

For perfectly aligned images between U-SPECT, U-CT and other modalities, MILabs can meet almost any custom needs.

 

 

 

 

 

Integrated heating

For animal scanning the beds are equipped with a transparent heating mat placed under the animal for stable regulation of the animal’s temperature.

 

 

 

 

Brain bed

This bed has a fixation device for the head of the animal and is specifically designed for brain research. It will ensure that the position of the brain is the same in every scan you make. Within the restrainer there is a teeth bar to optimize the fixation of the animal head.

 

 

 

 

 

Gas anesthesia bed

All beds can be equipped with a nose cone attached to a silicone tube to provide gas anesthesia to the animal.

Gas anesthesia

These beds have a small tube connected to a mouth cap for delivering gas anesthesia to the animal during scanning.

BioVet Physiological monitoring & triggering system

BioVet® is a specialized monitoring system for the preclinical CT, SPECT and PET imaging used for physiological event triggering and animal monitoring. Designed to monitor and trigger from 3 standard channels: Respiration, Temperature and ECG. Output to imaging system hardware for event synchronization via TTL active high or active low (software defined) and has been tested on leading manufacturer’s instruments (i.e. dual trigger out ability). BioVet® has an optional upgrade for animal temperature regulation.
