Perkin-Elmer IVIS Lumina X5 Imaging System

Introduction:

The IVIS^® Lumina^™ X5 high-throughput 2D optical imaging system combines high-sensitivity bioluminescence and fluorescence with high-resolution x-ray into a compact system that fits on benchtop. It consists of 26 filter sets that allow imaging of reporters that emit from green to near-infrared lights. With an expanded 5 mouse field of view for 2D optical imaging plus our unique line of accessories to accelerate setup and labeling. The system functions include bioluminescence, fluorescence imaging, Cherenkov imaging, white light and X-ray imaging.

RAS-4 Rodent Anesthesia System:

It facilitates efficient gas delivery via four delivery circuits while minimizing excess gas exposure to lab personnel with active scavenging capabilities.

Key features include:

• Delivers anesthesia to two instruments, an induction chamber and benchtop accessories simultaneously
• Separate dedicated exhaust for induction chamber to prevent anesthesia exposure when opening
• Oversized vented induction chamber to accommodate rats
• Only isoflurane can be used
