Maestro™
The award-winning Maestro systems enable in vivo fluorescence imaging of whole small animals at unprecedented sensitivity. Maestro offers users a unique capability to remove autofluorescence from skin and other tissues in order to reveal otherwise hard-to-identify labeled targets. This dramatic improvement in signal-to-noise detection can increase sensitivity up to several hundred-fold, enabling much smaller or fainter signals from biological targets to be detected and accurately measured. The increased sensitivity over monochrome systems provided by Maestro's high-quality spectral imaging technology enable experiments and models which simply cannot be done with any other system.
The Maestro system comes in two models:
-
Maestro 2 (M2)
Offers all the advantages of the award-winning Maestro 1, but is fully automated for high throughput applications, offers the flexibility to measure most fluorophores from the visible to the NIR, and is capable of low-light imaging.
-
Maestro 1 (M1)
A fluorescence-based small animal imaging system that provides rapid high-quality, quantitative results.
Maestro users can also benefit from CRi's newly released Dynamic Contrast Enhancement solution (DyCE™):
-
DyCE
CRi's new all-optical anatomic imaging solution that generates 3D organ maps and anatomical target co-localization.
The Maestro system can acquire data from up to three mice simultaneously down to 25 micron/pixel resolution in only a few seconds, and can detect, measure and track multiple fluorophores in vivo. CRi's Maestro has won the prestigious R&D Magazine's R&D 100 award, considered the "Oscars" of invention. In combination with CRi's Nuance system, it can provide resolution ranging from multiple mice or a rat to the subcellular level, enabling accurate and consistent ex vivo validation of in vivo findings.
