Small Animal Imaging System

Product Details

The UVP iBox Scientia Small Animal Imaging System is designed to automate your in vivo imaging research. The system enables non-invasive detection of fluorescent and bioluminescent reporters in mice. The one-touch pre-set or user-defined controls are easy to use for accurate, repeatable imaging.

Darkroom

Light tight darkroom creates optimum imaging conditions
Unique viewing window is UV blocking for quick sample inspection
Automated control of the five-position emission filter array
Power lift is adjustable to any setting in a ten-inch travel range (manual lift also available); automated calibrating home position synchronizes the power lift at start-up

Warming Plate

The warming plate provides a platform for maintaining a regulated temperature of small animals to prevent hypothermia. The stable temperature enables consistent day-to-day results.

UVP eLITE MultiSpectral Source

External power supply houses the eight-position filter wheel
Automation features control the filter wheel and six intensity positions
Fiber optic light source connects through the darkroom port for epi or transillumination
Matched excitation/emission green fluorescent protein (GFP) and red fluorescent protein (RFP) excitation filter are included; other filter sets available

Software Interface

Software automates your research for easy, yet accurate and repeatable results
Controls the eLITE, darkroom’s epi and transillumination UV and white light, emission filter selection and system power
Allows selection of user-defined or default settings
Set templates and user preferences for recurring experiments
