Applications

Combining the targeting technology of molecular biology with the detection ability of time domain optical imaging, the Optix system is an unmatched tool for medical research and drug development in both academia and the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

Key application areas include Oncology, Cardiovascular Disease, Neuroscience, and ADMET.

“Of the imaging techniques currently available clinically, only PET and SPECT have the sufficient sensitivity. However, it is difficult to label and image cell surface receptors or reporter genes, and the techniques require the use of radionuclides. Optical imaging not only offers the necessary sensitivity, but also the added advantages of increased spatial resolution and the absence of ionizing radiation. The technique constitutes a low-cost alternative for the real-time analysis of gene expression that is particularly suited to small animal models.”
