In-Vivo MS FX PRO
The MS FX PRO is the most powerful and versatile small animal imaging system for preclinical research. With multispectral fluorescence, luminescence, radioisotopic and high resolution X-ray imaging in one system, it brings the broadest range of imaging applications - from protein blots to complex, longitudinal studies of disease states in vivo - to your lab. Whether you need to develop fluorescent probes; track NIR fluorescent nanoparticles, peptides or proteins; quantify changes in localization and tumor burden; screen radioisotopic probes in multiple animals; study changes in bone density or perform ex vivo validation, the MS FX PRO drives your research to new levels of excellence.
- Unmatched versatility - 4 modalities (optical and X-ray) in one system
- Excitation-based spectral unmixing capability is standard – not a costly add-on
- Exceptionally sharp, quantifiable X-ray images > 25 lp/mm
- 10 second X-ray acquisitions for rapid co-registration
- Luminescence sensitivity
- Accurate scientific units (XD, pW/mm2, photons/sec/mm2, g/cm3 (long bones)
- Patented wide angle emission filters - (interchangeable)
- Large 200 mm FOV
- Upgrade path from existing systems
- MARS Multimodal Animal Rotation System for 360 degree imaging
- Combine with Albira for a complete small animal imaging core in just 2 powerful, compact instruments
Use the In-Vivo MS FX PRO for making fundamental biological discoveries and preclinical validation of therapeutics and biomarkers. Image changes in signaling cascades in live animals over time to discover how genetics, small molecules, and therapeutics affect these pathways. Validate and discover new molecular imaging probes and pre-clinical biomarkers—ideal for multi-functional imaging agents including nanoparticles, peptides, antibodies and more.
Specific applications include:
- Oncology
- Neuroscience
- Bone disease
- Cardiology
- Metabolic disease

- Inflammation
and more.
Molecular Imaging software
Carestream MI software combines powerful, easy to use image capture and visualization with simple, automated analysis and reporting tools. The intuitive user interface streamlines workflow, and provides a unified platform for managing all in vivo and in vitro images.
MARS Multimodal Animal Rotation System (optional)
MARS automatically rotates a mouse to the desired angle or angles to capture all relevant molecular and anatomical information. MARS rotation software enables automatic co-registration and visualization of multimodal and multispectral data sets from all acquired angles. Increase sensitivity by quantifying the perfect image or simply export an entire rotation movie.
Automated Animal Heater (standard)
Under anesthesia the body temperature of rodents can drop, endangering their health and your data. Our new animal heater bathes your animals a continuous flow of warm air to maintain their body temperature during your most critical experiments.
400W Illuminator (standard)
The new broad spectrum, ultra bright 400W Illuminator is designed specifically for customers with the most demanding fluorescence imaging applications. Xenon illumination provides broad spectrum excitation throughout the visible and NIR spectrum to provide you the greatest choice of fluorophores for your in vivo and in vitro experiments.
Automated Small Animal Anesthesia System (optional)
Automated gas anesthesia system regulates flow to protect animals and researchers from overexposure.
