The technology

What is Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography?

Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography (CFT) is a transformative 3D approach to imaging drug distribution and protein expression at high resolution and high sensitivity.

CFT can be easily integrated into your existing in vivo imaging workflows, providing definitive anatomical and molecular context.

Why CFT

Benefits of Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography

CFT expands preclinical imaging capabilities by bridging the gap between cellular microscopy (imaging small tissue volumes at high resolution) and current whole-body techniques such as MRI, PET, and SPECT (imaging larger tissue volumes with lower resolution and sensitivity).
