We offer high quality glass dissection dishes in various popular sizes. Our dissection dishes are lined with several millimeters of Sylgard® material, the perfect medium for pinning out tissue specimens during delicate dissection procedures. The Sylgard® lining is free of air bubbles and is not sticky to the touch. These dishes are autoclavable and withstand many months of regular usage.

The USphere Series of microbubble contrast agents have been specifically designed for use in a variety of species used in preclinical research, anywhere from mice, rats, rabbits and even pigs; and have been tested and shown to work effectively at frequencies from 1 to 40MHz. Specifically, these agents have been tested on our Prospect T1 high frequency ultrasound system and have been found to perform well with both linear and h…

Bruker's MBT Sepsityper® solution is designed to integrate seamlessly with the MALDI Biotyper®. This powerful combination enables the identification of pathogens directly from positive blood cultures in just 15-20 minutes, offering a cost-effective and efficient workflow that can significantly enhance patient care.

Dedicated product portfolio of animal imaging agents that will unleash the full potential of preclinical animal MRI, employing innovative agents from small molecules to nanoparticles.

Gel Documentation systems are the ideal imaging systems for gel documentation in any lab or core facility. The Super-Bright UV illumination and filter technology enhances the image quality, especially for DNA and RNA gels. The compact darkroom is made entirely of stainless steel and aluminum.

The MBT Pathfinder® and Feeder solution frees laboratory technicians from tedious, time-consuming sample preparation tasks, enabling them to concentrate on high-value activities such as sample interpretation and analysis. Automated MALDI target plate preparation minimizes time-intensive, repetitive, and error-prone manual processes.

Wire myography is an in vitro technique that allows us to examine functional responses and vascular reactivity of isolated small resistance arteries. Vessels from various species, including transgenic models, and vascular beds can be examined in a variety of pathological disease states. Vessels are dissected, cleaned, and then mounted onto a channel myograph under isometric techniques. Each vessel is then normalized to determi…

Scintica’s micro PVC phantoms are available in 3 sizes (27 mm OD, 34 mm OD, and 49 mm OD). These phantoms consist of one custom manufactured component and three separate pieces of commercial hardware for assembly. They have three separate voids, one with a series of spheres for a contrast recovery curve, one with a separately fillable warm background, and a final separate reference volume that can be optionally filled.

"Derenzo" phantoms are used to characterize an imaging system's resolution by measuring the FWHM of hole patterns with varying diameters and spacing. Holes within a size group are spaced at exactly 2D (twice the diameter) apart. Our Derenzo phantoms feature six different hole sizes arranged in triangles around the center of phantom.

Pressure arteriography is the gold-standard for quantifying function, reactivity and mechanics in isolated perfused blood vessels. When embarking on pressure arteriography, many factors warrant consideration. In addition to the requisite surgical skills for isolating and cannulating small arteries, proper instrumentation is also paramount.

Gel Documentation systems are the ideal imaging systems for gel documentation in any lab or core facility. The Super-Bright UV illumination and filter technology enhances the image quality, especially for DNA and RNA gels. The compact darkroom is made entirely of stainless steel and aluminum.

OXM causes weight loss via suppression of food intake and increase in energy expenditure. OXM administration was also reported to increase heart-rate in mice. Besides regulating glucose homeostasis in monogastric animals, OXM also increases the concentration of insulin and glucose in plasma of Holstein cattle under normal physiological conditions. It has been shown that Type 2 diabetes patients have lower levels of OXM and lev…

The Ansh Labs Bioactive IGF-I kit uses a highly sensitive two-site antibody method which allows detection of bioactive IGF-I. This assay enables accurate measurement and differentiation of bioactive IGF-I from total IGF-I levels. Assessment of bioactive to total IGF-I ratio will be informative and advance our understanding of IGF-I function and regulation in different physiological and disease states.

The Total IGF-I immunoassay is a direct detection method which eliminates potential altering of sample matrix from size-exclusion chromatography or filtration methods.  

The ratio of Total to Intact IGFBP-4 concentration measured in individual subjects over time will help normalizes the IGFBP-4 variability between subjects and also increase the detection rate of increased PAPP-A activity in myocardial infarction subjects.

During pregnancy, PAPP-A is produced in high concentrations by the trophoblast and released into maternal circulation. In addition to trophoblasts, PAPP-A expression has been reported in various tissues, including endometrium, testis, atherosclerotic arteries, kidney, bone, colon, and other adult and fetal tissue.
