Custom Built EchoMRI™ Body Composition Analyzers
EchoMRI carries Whole Body Composition Analyzers for most commonly used animal models in today's research activities.
However, sometimes research requires having very specific, unique instruments not readily available on the market.
Whether it is just a different sample size or a conveyer-based fast screening system, we will meet this challenge
to create an instrument which will suit your needs perfectly.
Please
let us know
the sizes and weight ranges of your subjects,
special needs and circumstances in which you would scan them,
and how to contact you.
Mobile EchoMRI™ Laboratories for Body Composition Analysis
Some of our customers need traveling mobility, such as avian researchers who follow the migration of their subjects
or researchers of dogs and other pets who need to use their Analyzer at multiple locations.
We offer various customized solutions which cater to mobility needs in the whole range of different scales available
in our standard systems.
The two examples shown below are mobile labs for
Small Animals - Birds and Bats
and for
Larger Animals - Dogs and Pets
|
A small animals system is split into two pieces, to fit inside a small mobile
laboratory.
The example shown in the picture is the EchoMRI™ Mobile Body Composition
Analyzer for Birds and Bats, or other small animals of up to 200 grams. It is
customized particularly for the BCA of birds in that it has a specially
elongated field of view.

EchoMRI™ Body Composition Analyzers deliver precise body composition measurements
of fat, lean, free water, and total water masses in live animals.
Scanning takes 0.5 – 3.2 minutes, depending on the precision options.
The live animals need no anesthesia and no special preparation before measurement.
EchoMRI™ Analyzers are exceedingly easy to operate.
A training period of one hour is sufficient for individuals without prior knowledge.
Numeric results are stored and can be viewed again later at any time,
as well as extracted either into Excel and ASCII files or into Access database.
