Preclinical magnetic resonance imaging has greatly advanced all aspects of basic research, disease and therapeutic studies. Non-invasive in vivo imaging of small animals and rodents provides structural and functional information with extremely high spatial and temporal resolution. CD BioSciences offers a wide selection of instruments designed to perfectly meet the needs of scientists for research equipment.
Recently, the spectrometer hardware was upgraded to the current Bruker Neo system and is now running ParaVision 360, allowing to perform dual-channel pTx and dynamic shimming. A wide variety of homebuilt MR-coils includes surface coils for rat brain imaging, large quadrature transmit/receive birdcage coils for investigating samples or entire rats, or double-tuned transmit and receive coils for deuterium imaging.
The magnet was built by Magnex (Oxford), the MR hardware was delivered by Bruker Biospin in Ettlingen. After four years of successful operation, it was damaged by a quench in October 2011, and had to be sent to Oxford for repair. Since August 2013 the scanner is back in service, now with a reduced field strength of 14.1 T. It is equipped with gradients that are able to reach a strength of 1 T/m within 181 µs and a high-performance shim system with nine first and second order shim channels. Its inner diameter of 12 cm makes it possible to insert extensive equipment for brain stimulation or multi-modality experiments or to examine even larger animals like small monkeys.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and computer-generated radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues. CD BioSciences offers a Ultra High-Field MRI System: 14.2 T Small Animal System-based MRI service. Please contact us directly if you have a request.
