Our Story

EMIT Imaging is the leading manufacturer of Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography (CFT) systems and provider of CFT services for the global bioresearch market.

Who we are

From image to insight

EMIT Imaging is the pioneer in Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography (CFT), offering our state-of-the-art preclinical imaging system, Xerra™, and comprehensive CFT fee-for-service research to the global scientific community. CFT is an ex vivo, volumetric tissue imaging technique that provides enhanced monitoring of the biodistribution of fluorescently labeled molecules or the expression of fluorescent reporter proteins with high resolution and high sensitivity. Anatomical and molecular images are co-registered, enabling unparalleled localization insights for drugs, delivery vehicles, proteins, and other biochemical processes in whole animals and tissues.

EMIT Imaging is headquartered and conducts research services out of its Natick, MA office. Engineering and manufacturing are based out of the Owings Mills, MD production facility.
