Introduction
An animal imaging system is a laboratory system used for the non-invasive imaging of the small animals, such as the mice and the rats, for the study of the biological processes, the diseases, and the effects of the treatments, and it is used in the biomedical research, the pharmaceutical development, and the preclinical studies. The animal imaging system uses various imaging modalities, including the bioluminescence and the fluorescence imaging, in which the light emitted by the labeled cells or the reporter genes is detected; the X-ray imaging and the micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), which provide the anatomical information; the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the positron emission tomography (PET), which provide the functional information; and the ultrasound imaging, and the system consists of an imaging chamber with the anesthesia and the temperature control, a detector or a camera, the illumination and the filter systems, and a control and image analysis software, and it captures the images of the animals over time, allowing the longitudinal studies; the animal imaging system is used for the study of the tumor growth and the metastasis, for the study of the gene expression, for the study of the drug distribution and the efficacy, for the study of the inflammation and the infection, for the study of the brain function, and for many other applications, and it provides a non-invasive and a longitudinal monitoring of the animals. Animal imaging systems are used in the biomedical research institutions, in the pharmaceutical companies, in the universities, and for many other applications. With their non-invasive imaging, animal imaging systems are essential for the preclinical research.

FAQ
Q1: What scenarios is this system used for?
A: It performs in vivo optical or anatomical imaging of small laboratory animals to track tumors, disease progression and drug response, with an imaging chamber, detectors and analysis software.
Q2: What standards does it comply with?
A: It is built for animal research under institutional care protocols and related equipment and radiation safety standards where applicable, with performance validated.
Q3: What is the warranty?
A: The system carries a 12 to 24 month warranty covering hardware and software. Lamps and sensors are wear parts. Damage from misuse or unauthorized repair is excluded.
Q4: Is it hard to operate?
A: Operation requires trained staff for anesthesia, imaging and analysis. We provide a manual, installation and training.
Q5: What is the lead time?
A: Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Q6: Is calibration required?
A: Performance should be verified periodically using calibrated reference standards, with results logged in the equipment record. Most users perform this check every 6 to 12 months or according to their internal quality schedule. We provide the procedure, reference materials and formal calibration service if required.
Q7: Are consumables universal?
A: Anesthesia and imaging agents are standard research supplies, while fixtures are system-specific. Ongoing cost is moderate.
Q8: Can it be customized?
A: Yes, several configurations are available. Options include imaging modality, channels, chambers and analysis software. We can discuss further custom requirements, confirm feasibility and advise any effect on the schedule before the order is confirmed.
Q9: Is installation included?
A: Standard delivery includes the system and manual. On-site installation and training are typically included or recommended.
Q10: What subjects are compatible?
A: It handles validated small laboratory animals. It is not for human clinical use, species beyond configuration, or studies without ethical approval.
