Medikors InAlyzer
Founded in 2013, MEDIKORS Inc. is passionate in the field of diagnostic imaging technology.
InAlyzer is the world’s first benchtop 108-µm body composition analyzer for lab animals in 2014. Based on dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), it uses two X-rays of different types of energy to examine a target of interest. It allows high-resolution bone mineral density and body composition analysis for research.
Eliminating the need for destructive chemistry analysis in bone and tissue composition measurements, a researcher is able to make multiple measurements throughout the entire the life of a lab animal.
- Completes the scanning with accurate results within 1 minute
- Fan-beam device using super flattening technique to conveniently scan and measure several animals at the same time
- Has inner camera to observe animals during scan
- Use a 54μm linear detector for super-resolution images at 4.9lp/mm
- Offers up to 210mm X 315mm scanning area to work with larger experimental animals such as rabbit and guinea pig
- Has access point for easy application of anesthesia
- Effective lead shield inside analyzer to effectively block off the radiation from user
- Up to 30 ROI (Region of Interest) and 10 XROI (except ROI) can be selected
