Animal Handling
An important part of preclinical in vivo imaging is the ability to image the same animal repeatedly over time, using different imaging modalities. To ensure a streamlined workflow and ease-of-use, MR SOLUTIONS provides industry standard accessories, making your animal handling easier.
The animal beds (imaging cells) for preclinical imaging are designed and developed with the help of biologists and in vivo imaging system specialists. The industry standard Minerve beds enable repeat examinations on the same animal and enables multi-modality imaging. The animal beds/cells provide the transfer of anesthetic gas, controlled heating and a pathogen free environment. The cells enable repeatable positioning of the animal and the controlled gas anesthesia maintains the animal at a constant level of sedation. The heating system keeps the animal at normal temperature during the imaging process.
