The Prospect T1 is an innovative high-frequency ultrasound system designed specifically for in vivo preclinical imaging in small animals such as mice and rats. This compact and cost-effective tablet-based system provides high-resolution images (up to 30 µm) and advanced capabilities to monitor changes in hemodynamics and observe anatomical structures in real-time.

The iNSiGHT DXA system is an in vivo Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA/DEXA) technology for preclinical research. This fully shielded X-ray cabinet is suitable for small animal DXA applications – mice, rats, and animals of similar size (up to 5kg). Efficient body composition measurements allow for fast scan times of 25 seconds. Combined with its low-dose radiation, it’s ideal for longitudinal studies.

The Indus Rodent Surgical Monitor+ is an advanced, integrated surgical warming and vital signs monitoring solution for preclinical research in mice, rats and other small animals. The system provides detailed information, in real time, regarding subject body temperature, ECG, heart rate, pressure and respiration. 

This immunodeficient nude mouse originated from NIH and was originally thought to be a BALB/c congenic. It was later determined that it was not inbred and is therefore maintained as an outbred. It is not associated with any stock or strain. The animal lacks a thymus, is unable to produce T cells, and is therefore immunodeficient. To Charles River from NCI in 2010. Model Properties: Coat Color: Hairless, albino background…

The PhysioTel F20-EET and F40-EET transmitters are designed primarily for sleep research applications in rodents. These transmitters will allow simultaneous monitoring of two biopotential channels, such as EEG and EMG, temperature, and locomotor activity. The biopotential electrode has an outer diameter of .3mm making the lead an ideal size for use in EEG applications in small animals. 

FinePointe Resistance and Compliance

You can build custom chamber configurations using any of the rat package designs to meet virtually any research requirement. Additional items to consider include an audio generator, infusion pump, scrambled foot aversive stimulation, lickometer, movement detector, and constant current square wave stimulator. Each operant package is a complete single test station including the SmartCtrl™ interface. Note: Packages do not includ…

Resolvins are a family of potent lipid mediators derived from both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; Item No. 90110) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; Item No. 90310). In addition to being anti-inflammatory, resolvins promote the resolution of the inflammatory response back to a non-inflamed state. Resolvin D1 (RvD1) is produced physiologically from the sequential oxygenation of DHA by 15- and 5-lipoxygenase. A 17(R)-epimer (Item No. 1…

BioIVT has 30+ tissue types available by species in a variety of formats to meet your research needs.

In vivo model for cardiovascular, alzheimer’s and other neurodegeneration studies. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a critical apoprotein of the chylomicron which binds to a specific receptor on liver cells and peripheral cells. Defects in ApoE result in disrupted transportation of lipoproteins, fat-soluble vitamins and cholesterol into the lymph systems, and then into blood.ApoE Knockout Rat Characteristics: 16 bp deletion wit…
