EMIT Imaging is the leading manufacturer of Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography (CFT) systems and provider of CFT services for the global bioresearch market
Cryo-fluorescence tomography (CFT) was born out of the need to better visualize drug distribution and protein expression (PK/PD) in whole-animals at high resolution and high sensitivity. Following developing a prototype system and demonstrating the vast potential of CFT, EMIT Imaging, Inc. was spun out of Invicro, LLC in 2018. EMIT designed and manufactured our flagship product, XerraTM, a fully automated preclinical imaging platform, and launched the first-generation production system in 2019, making CFT more accessible to the research community. In 2022, Xerra received CE mark, demonstrating the quality of our engineering and production, and easing global access to this innovative technology.
We developed CFT and Xerra to help preclinical researchers discover more while complementing existing imaging workflows. Applications of CFT span drug discovery and delivery, oncology and immunotherapy, gene and cell therapy, neuroscience, and beyond. EMIT Imaging is driven to develop innovative CFT applications, systems, and software that meet our customers’ and collaborators’ needs. We are working hard on feature enhancements, workflow optimization, and data science tools that further the utility and useability of Xerra and the expanded CFT applications. EMIT Imaging is installing Xerra systems and offering outsourced CFT research services to pharma, biotech, and academia globally. The company is based in Baltimore, MD, and Boston, MA.
