Features & Benefits
Enables researchers to perform multiple measurements during the life of the animal. Animals can be measured even every day, and the method is ideal for longitudinal studies.
- Non Invasive and Non Destructive
- Quantitative method
- Rapid analysis: measurement takes less than 2 minutes, no sample preparation.
- Economical procedures:
- no consumables
- retain expensive lab animals for entire study - Reduced animal stress
- No need for anesthetics; no recovery time so minimal effect on metabolism
- Animals are measured “as-is”
- Allows more frequent testing, due to reduction of risks to animal health, even daily acquisitions - Operator requires no special NMR skills
- Easy and intuitive minispec software
- Long-term reliable and problem-free operation
- Better accuracy and precision compared to DEXA (X-ray) method
