The laboratory is equipped with Explore Optix (ART), a pre-clinical optical imaging system, which allows to follow in vivo biodistribution and pharmacokinetic processes of fluorescence emitting probes.
Explore Optix is a small animal time-domain pre-clinical imager and optical imaging is a non invasive technology which allows to visualize molecular events in real-time and over time in the same animal, providing an optimal tool for studying biodistribution, accumulation and elimination of specific emitting probes, both in the healthy and in the pathological model.
