NEW Maestro™ FLEX In-Vivo Imaging System
CRi Maestro™ FLEX systems now feature increased multiplexing capability and even better low light-level sensitivity. Our unique FLEX technology allows higher spectral accuracy and improved signal separation. Maestro systems are affordable, breakthrough instruments for fluorescence-based in-vivo molecular imaging. Using multispectral acquisition and analysis, they provide dramatically improved sensitivity, multicolor flexibility and quantitative accuracy for both visible and near-infrared labels.

Autofluorescence-unwanted light emission from unlabeled tissues that can obscure all but the brightest of signals-limits the usefulness of conventional in-vivo fluorescence imaging. Expensive cameras do not help, since they simply capture both the autofluorescence and the desired fluorescence signal more efficiently. Maestro systems employ unique multispectral imaging technology to virtually eliminate autofluorescence, revealing otherwise invisible labeled targets-that now appear bright against a near-black background. This dramatic improvement in signal-to-noise can increase sensitivity many fold, allowing much smaller or fainter targets to be detected.

The CRi Maestro™ imaging system has many applications involving a variety of materials, such as probes, cell lines, animal specimens, etc. Certain of these applications and/or materials may require licensing under patents held by third parties. For example, a license from AntiCancer Incorporated, 7917 Ostrow St., San Diego, CA 92111 and/or Caliper Life Sciences, Inc., 68 Elm St., Hopkinton, MA 01748, may be required for certain applications and/or materials. CRi's sale or other transfer of the Maestro™ imaging system does not convey any right or license under such third party patents. It is suggested, therefore, that users of the Maestro™ imaging system consult with counsel to determine whether licensing of such third party patents is required.
