Scintica Instrumentation to distribute the compact and affordable MRI preclinical system from Aspect Imaging

 

Scintica Instrumentation Inc. is excited to announce their distribution agreement in North America and Europe for Aspect Imaging’s preclinical M-Series™ Compact MRI system.  The M-Series™ are low-field MRI systems, enabling high-resolution 3D imaging without the need for special shielding, cryogens or water connections.

These standalone MRI machines can be easily placed within either an individual laboratory or in a core research facility, without concern about proximity to other equipment or fixtures.  This gives scientists an affordable MRI imaging option in fields including cancer biology, cardiovascular disease, neuroscience and stem cell research.

Gold standard MR imaging can now be easily integrated into scientific laboratories, allowing researchers to harness the power and insights of MRI as quickly and easily as with other technologies.

Blair Poetschke President of Scintica Instrumentation “enthusiastically welcomes the Aspect compact MRI line of products to its instrumentation portfolio for 2019.  The affordable and compact MRI and PET inserts offered by Aspect Imaging will serve a key role in advancing scientific research and make gold standard MR imaging available to the majority of research laboratories”.

Fred Haberle, VP Sales, Americas, Aspect Imaging, states that “low field permanent magnet MRI will be the future of preclinical MRI due to low cost siting, throughput and the advent of low cost hyperpolarization”.
