Cellvizio LAB provides researchers with a new way to understand physiological phenomena at the cellular and sub-cellular levels in situ in animal subjects.
It is currently used by world-leading neuroscience research institutions in various applications including neurological research of the deep brain and peripheral nerves, especially in the research of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, where it offers a unique capability to couple in vivo and in situ observations of neuronal activity on freely moving animals with behavioral studies. The minimal invasiveness of Cellvizio LAB and its adaptability to longitudinal studies make it also a key-element for research fields such as cancer, stem cell and gene delivery research. As a new molecular imaging technique, Cellvizio LAB can help monitor the interactions and effects of new molecules and new potential drug vectors non-invasively. Cellvizio LAB can also be used as high-throughput screening technique for mutant line maintenance.
Cellvizio Lab exists in two versions:
• Cellvizio 488:
Compatible with a wide span of fluorescent reporters that can be illuminated at 488 nm.
• Cellvizio 660:
This NIR version (illumination at 660 nm) of Cellvizio makes it ideal to reduce undue autofluorescence during in vivo studies.
