Pearlcam
High-sensitivity detection of signals from within internal organs or deep-seated tumors.
Because the imaging is non-invasive, researchers can scan the same animal over days or weeks. This reduces the number of animals needed for a study and provides a more accurate timeline of how a tumor grows or shrinks in response to treatment. 🛠 Features and Workflow PearlCAM
By tagging medications (such as encapsulated liposomes) with fluorescent markers, scientists can monitor how long a drug stays in the bloodstream and whether it successfully reaches the tumor site. This is critical for improving the efficiency of chemotherapy. 3. Longitudinal Tumor Studies 🛠 Features and Workflow By tagging medications (such
A fluorescent probe (like IRDye®) is injected into the subject. PearlCAM
PearlCAM is the proprietary interface used to capture and analyze high-resolution images in the spectrum. Unlike visible light, NIR light can penetrate several centimeters into biological tissue, allowing for:
Capabilities typically include 700 nm and 800 nm channels, allowing researchers to track two different biological markers simultaneously. 📈 Key Applications in Research
Before a new cancer drug or imaging agent can be tested on humans, it must be proven effective and safe in animal models. Systems like the LI-COR Pearl Trilogy provide the high-quality data required by regulatory bodies (like the FDA) to move a discovery from the lab to the clinic.
