How does IVIS imaging work?
IVIS acquires a photographic image of the animal under white light and a quantitative bioluminescent or fluorescent signal, which is overlaid on the image. The bioluminescent signal is expressed in photons per second and displayed as an intensity map.
What is IVIS system?
The IVIS Spectrum is the newest imaging system available from Caliper Life Sciences. Like previous IVIS systems, it uses Xenogen’s novel patented optical imaging technology to facilitate non-invasive longitudinal monitoring of disease progression, cell trafficking and gene expression patterns in living animals.
What does IVIS imaging stand for?
In Vivo Imaging System
IVIS (In Vivo Imaging System) is a novel technology that enables one to measure optical probes (bioluminescence, fluorescence, and Cerenkov imaging for radiotracers) in live animals.
Can bioluminescence imaging be used in humans?
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) has been used to perform real-time analysis of disease burden, track exogenous cells, and to determine the effectiveness of drugs, for example, in cancer studies.
Why choose Xenogen Biophotonic imaging technology?
Xenogen’s biophotonic imaging technology has been optimized for high sensitivity, such that micrometastases can be detected that would otherwise require histopathology to identify. Xenogen oncology models can be used to assess anti-cancer therapies over the course of treatment in vivo.
What is the Xenogen ivis-200 system?
The Xenogen IVIS-200 System is a high-sensitivity, low noise, in vivo imaging technology platform that allows non-invasive visualization and tracking of cellular and genetic activity within a living organism, in real time. It’s capable of imaging bioluminescence and fluorescence.
What is in vivo biophotonic imaging?
In vivo bioluminescent imaging allows the non-invasive detection and quantification of orthotopic, metastatic and spontaneous tumors in the whole mouse. Xenogen’s biophotonic imaging technology has been optimized for high sensitivity, such that micrometastases can be detected that would otherwise require histopathology to identify.
