Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) has launched the nScope eMRI preclinical imaging system at
the annual meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in
Medicine. With its new nScope eMRI system, Agilent is transforming how
researchers view disease.
The latest addition to Agilent's MRI
product line, the nScope eMRI system features an improved interface that
enables unparalleled ease of use. Optimized packages uniquely align with
specific user requirements, and a redesigned workflow ensures simple and
ergonomic operation.
"The imaging protocols are a
valuable step toward the ease of use of a clinical system while retaining the
full flexibility of an experimental system," said Ian Marshall, a
professor at the School of Clinical Sciences at the University of Edinburgh.
"They will be particularly useful to new users who wish to generate
biomedical results without being bogged down in technical detail."
The nScope eMRI system is focused on
researchers who need the valuable information that can be gleaned from MRI. The
system has been designed with the explicit goal of making the imaging aspect of
their research as simple as possible.
"We are very pleased with how we
have been able to take the former Varian MRI product and shape it into a basic
tool for the biological research community," said Regina Schuck, vice
president for Agilent Research Products. "This new product is a key step
forward in Agilent's commitment to being a leader in the field of life
sciences."
All pre-clinical researchers will enjoy
the ease-of-use evolution that includes integrated specimen life support,
precise laser-guided sample positioning, and ergonomic workflow. The MRI
software has improved image viewing tools, as well as a collection of validated
protocols appropriate for routine imaging experiments for brain and heart. For
the advanced users, there are new CSI tools designed for use with DNP
experiments enabling customers to push their 13C research forward.
