Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography services
Submit samples for imaging and analysis. We guide you from study design through data analysis.
Get StartedVolumetric insights, without the upfront investment
At EMIT Imaging, we offer advanced Cryo-Fluorescence Tomography (CFT) as a fee-for-service solution from our laboratory in Natick, Massachusetts. Our in-house experts guide you from study design through data analysis, delivering high-resolution, volumetric insights that support preclinical drug discovery and development.
CFT enables whole-animal and tissue imaging that connects molecular localization with anatomical context. By visualizing fluorescently labeled molecules in 3D, researchers can explore on- and off-target biodistribution, protein expression, and complex biochemical pathways with unprecedented clarity.
Whether you're validating a gene therapy, characterizing a drug delivery vehicle, or tracking tumor progression, CFT delivers the section-by-section insights needed to make confident, data-driven decisions.

Why conduct a CFT services project?
High-resolution, high-sensitivity volumetric whole-body imaging
Visualize biodistribution, protein expression, and other processes in 3D at 20-55 µm resolution and single-digit nanomolar sensitivity.
Expert-led study design, execution, and analysis
Work with our project managers and CFT experts from day one, guiding probe selection, food restrictions, and freezing protocols to ensure data quality from the start.
Easily integrate CFT into existing workflows
CFT can act as a screening tool ahead of downstream assays (IHC, LSM, biochemical analysis) or as the final step in a longitudinal study. We adapt to your study design.
Quantifiable imaging
Every CFT block is set up so fluorescence units can be normalized within blocks (standards) or across blocks (OCT), letting you analyze signal intensity across regions of interest.
Actionable analysis insights
We identify and analyze key regions of interest. Deliverables include raw and processed data, statistical summaries, and publication-ready visuals: 2D slice stacks, co-registered flythroughs, and 3D MIPs designed to inform go/no-go decisions.
Rapid turnaround times
A dedicated project manager coordinates logistics. Initial results are often delivered in as few as 14 business days, with final reports typically within 25 business days.
