30 years of innovation and dependability in Body Composition Analysis
EchoMRI™ is a research instruments company serving the scientific community for the past 30 years. We design and manufacture a novel Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) whole-body composition and tissue characterization equipment for research and clinical applications.
We manage the entire manufacturing process to deliver high-quality dependable instruments backed by proven reliability and comprehensive support. Our support technicians are available to assist with any issue that may arise.
We have offices in Houston, USA, an associate office in Singapore, as well as distributors all around the globe.
EchoMRI™ is internationally recognized as the gold standard in body composition analysis.
Our equipment is used
- In over 500 scientific publications each year
- By more than 80 pharmaceutical companies and over 150 leading universities, hospitals, and research facilities
- In a wide range of disciplines including obesity and metabolic disease, nutrition, drug development, Aging and osteoporosis, Animal physiology, and more
- Across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. Every blue country below has an EchoMRI™ system:
Why Researchers Choose EchoMRI™
- Excellent precision and sensitivity – Our precision is unrivaled among all other body composition measurement methods. This means our systems detect small changes in body composition to empower you to run shorter studies with fewer subjects leading to faster statistically significant results.
- High accuracy and specificity – Our systems have been validated for humans and a wide range of animal species. They have also been validated for a representative and broard set of genotypes and phenotypes. Other body composition methods, such as underwater weighing or DXA, measure indirect parameters and extrapolate results. EchoMRI™ uses NMR technology to directly count hydrogen nuclei in fat, lean, and water. EchoMRITM systems measurements are also consistent across machines making it easy to compare your findings to another lab’s results.
- Non-Invasive – Subjects require no anesthesia or sedation and can be scanned in as little as 30 seconds.
- Safe to operate – Magnetic field fully shielded by system enclosure.
- Easy to Use – Anyone can be fully trained to use our systems in under one hour. Our all-inclusive systems require no additional external monitors, software, or accessories, and their wheeled assembly makes them easy to transport.
