Imaging Technologies
Xenogen retains the exclusive license for in vivo biophotonic imaging. This technology images tagged genes and cells by tracking light emission from sources within a living mammal. Xenogen imaging technologies include:
IVIS® Imaging Systems – ultra-sensitive CCD cameras with proprietary hardware and software to detect emitted photons and create images and data files.
Living Image® Software – controls image and data acquisition for all IVIS® Imaging Systems.
Biological Solutions for Preclinical Development
In addition to in vivo biophotonic imaging licenses and equipment, Xenogen provides:
Bioware™ Cells and Microorganisms – including tumor cell lines, bacteria, and fungi engineered to emit light continuously or in response to specific stimuli.
LPTA® Animal Models – developed to emit light when target genes are active, allowing researchers to see if a gene is “on” or “off” in a living animal.
