/ Catalog / Physiology / EchoMRI
EchoMRI are quantitative magnetic resonance systems, which allow to measure in less than 1 minute the total body fat and fat-free mass, the amount of free water and total body water volume in a living animal.
Without sedation or anesthesia, the EchoMRI™ QMR (Quantitative Magnetic Resonance) systems enable the measurement of total body fat and fat-free mass, free water, and total body water in live animals weighing less than 100g (EchoMRI-100/130 and EchoMRI-3in1) to 1100g (EchoMRI-500/700/900/1100 and EchoMRI-4in1) in less than 1 minute. The system's optional tissue probe for organs and specimens weighing up to 10g and biopsy probe for samples up to 300mlg are both advantages for researchers (EchoMRI-3in1/4in1).
The system is simple to use and doesn't require any specialized skills. Automatic data analysis saves the findings in Excel, Access, or other text-based formats.
The system is a single item that is simple to install. The system is fully insulated, compatible with common power sources, and secure to operate.
