The InAlyzer by MEDIKORS INC. is a specialized Body Composition Analyzer designed for use with laboratory animals
InAlyzer employs Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA), a precise imaging technique commonly used in both clinical and research settings to measure bone mineral density and body composition.
Features
- HIGH PRECISION:
The InAlyzer provides extremely precise measurements of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) and Body Composition parameters, including Bone Mineral Content (BMC), fat mass, and lean mass, with a resolution down to 0.001 grams. This level of precision is particularly valuable for research requiring detailed and accurate data.
- NON-INVASIVE AND ETHICAL:
The device enables serial assessments without the need for dissection. This means that the same animal can be scanned multiple times, reducing the number of animals required for research, which aligns with the ethical principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) in animal research.
- SAFE OPERATION:
The InAlyzer is designed with a protective internal structure that effectively shields researchers from radiation exposure during operation, ensuring safety in the laboratory environment.
- EASE OF USE:
It simplifies the process of obtaining detailed body composition data from laboratory animals, making it easier for researchers to conduct longitudinal studies with minimal animal stress due to the requirement of only simple anesthesia.
- This tool is particularly beneficial for studies that involve monitoring changes in bone density or body composition over time, such as those investigating the effects of diet, exercise, or pharmaceuticals on small animals.
