Bioimaging has a plethora of applications across research institutions, medical facilities, academic research, and biopharma companies, but it is often a significant expense, requiring labs to invest in several instruments to meet their diverse imaging needs. This is no longer necessary thanks to Analytik Jena and its ground-breaking UVP BioSpectrum Advanced all-in-one bioimager.
Capable of performing image acquisition and analysis for small animal in vivo imaging, multiplex fluorescence, NIR, plant imaging, colorimetric imaging, protein gels, DNA gels, colony counting, fluorescence imaging, chemiluminescence and bioluminescence, the UVP BioSpectrum Advanced delivers maximum signal/background and brightness by using laser bars as excitation light instead of regular LEDs. Laser bars come in violet, blue, green, red/NIR1 (near-infrared 1), and NIR2 (near-infrared 2), which provide illumination uniformity and high specificity coverage. The unit also has overhead white illumination.
The instrument can perform 3D mouse imaging at an affordable price when paired with In Vivo Analytics grid modules. For molecular biology labs performing protein blotting, the UVP BioSpectrum Advanced possesses a high-uniformity CCD camera for little to no background noise in captured photos. The UVP BioSpectrum Advanced can also be used as a standalone automated in vivo imager capable of gel and western blot analysis, and users can switch between a warming plate for in vivo imaging and UV transilluminator for chemiluminescence and fluorescence applications.
The UVP BioSpectrum Advanced also features a 6-position automated filter wheel on a convenient slide-out tray, and RFID-tagged filters for automatic software detection by Analytik Jena’s VisionWorks® program. The software—purpose-built by Analytik Jena—provides robust image capture, quantitation, and analysis capabilities, as well as clear documentation for publication and compliance needs. From conception to execution, VisionWorks also provides flexibility by creating custom one-touch workflows with the option of using preinstalled application templates.
Optional accessories, including UVP Anesthesia Kit, white and blue converter plates, and 3D animal imaging modules, further extend the UVP BioSpectrum Advanced’s already broad utility. Each purchase comes with free application training to ensure your lab can maximize the instrument’s capabilities and get your personnel up to speed on all its features—helping your lab reach its research goals faster and more cost-effectively. Whatever your application needs now or in the future, the UVP BioSpectrum Advanced is ideal for any research laboratory looking to upgrade their in vivo experimentation and achieve the utmost precision.
