Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography Services
For researchers looking to discover the benefits of CFT without purchasing a system, EMIT Imaging offers end-to-end preclinical services performed at our state-of-the-art facilities in Boston, MA and Baltimore, MD. The process is seamless and easy: freeze whole-animal/tissue samples, ship them to us, and let EMIT handle the rest. Our experienced imaging scientists work with you hand-in-hand to ensure studies are designed to provide unmatched visualization of drug PK/PD. See what you’re missing compared to existing fluorescence imaging techniques and utilize CFT to gain better insights in 3D and with high-resolution and high-sensitivity. Complete services include:
- Scientific expertise to support study design and execution
- Dedicated project manager from start to finish
- Fast turnaround times: Initial data in as soon as 14 days
- Advanced data analysis
How CFT Works
Step 1: Preparation
Step 2: Image + Section
Step 3: Output
3D image stacks are generated. White light and fluorescence data can be overlaid.
CFT Research Advantages
High Resolution:
High, near-cellular resolution down to 20 µm
High Sensitivity:
Nanomolar sensitivity, comparable to nuclear medicine
High Throughput:
Several samples in the same block = large volume of tissue imaged
Complementary
Fits into any experiment, complementing tissue and radiology imaging
Simplified:
No fixation, perfusion, clearing or radiolabeling required
Multiplexing:
6 lasers and 7 filters for multiplexed applications
