Instrumentation in Core:

  • MicroCat II® Micro-Computed Tomography Scanner
  • Anesthesia machine (during scans, animals are anesthetized)
  • MouseOx® for continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation, pulse rate and breath rate in small animals
  • Workstation with Amira® image processing and 3D visualization software
  • Ultrafast tomographic reconstruction with Exxim COBRA® software

Brief Description of Core: Non-invasive, high resolution (down to 27microns) imaging of living animals (mice and rats). The same animal can be imaged over time in lateral studies that monitor the progression of disease or the response to therapy.  In vitro samples can also be imaged with high resolution.

Core Fee Schedule: in vivo Micro-CT Pricing.
