Pre-Clinical Bioluminescence and Fluorescence Perkin Elmer IVIS Lumina III Imager for small-animals, organs, tissues, gels, agars or plates imaging.

The IVIS® Lumina K Series III from PerkinElmer provides a real time, fast imaging system enabling acquisition of biologically relevant events within milliseconds. The instrument can perform both quantitative luminescence and fluorescence as a standard high signal to noise imager and as a high speed imager. The system includes a highly sensitive EMCCD camera for signal enhancement and the ability to reduce exposure times enabling fast kinetics. The instrument has been incorporated with PerkinElmer's patented Compute Pure Spectrum (CPS) algorithm for special library generation software tools to ensure accurate autofluorescence removal, unmixing and fluorophore quantitation.
