InAlyzer2 software provides superior ease-of-use in automating data collection
Biomedical researchers can now remove metal artifacts such as Radio Frequency ID (RFID) microchips from sample analysis for small animal DEXA lab studies (Figure 1). This is particularly useful for longitudinal studies where lab animal identification microchips simplify the identification and monitoring of research animals and laboratory assets.
Micro Photonics has partnered with UID Identification Solutions, utilizing their cutting-edge RFID technology for implantation of tags designed to facilitate data collection with the highest degree of accuracy. The RFID tabs integrate seamlessly with the InAlyzer2 DEXA software, providing superior ease-of-use and assisting in automating data collection and streamlining routine laboratory research processes.
For researchers who study obesity, genetics, cell physiology, bone, or soft tissue, the DEXA InAlyzer2 offers superior speed and precision for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in small lab animals ~ simple, quick, noninvasive, and automated (Figure 2).
“With faster scan times, closed X-ray source, and excellent precision, the DEXA InAlyzer2 is an excellent option to replace the now discontinued PIXImus system,” says Tim Sledz, president, Micro Photonics.
Features and benefits of the DEXA InAlyzer2 include:
- Speed: Sacrificed animals: 28 sec.; Live animals: 84 sec.
- Precision Body Composition measurements: <1% SD, < 3% CV
- Animal Size: Mice, Rats, and options for cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs
