The In Vivo Optical Gene Imaging Facility offers CU Cancer Center members and other investigators the
tools to image biological processes in live experimental animals based on powerful, non-invasive bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging.
We use a Xenogen IVIS200 scanner for cells and metastasis traceability luciferase (luciferin). Also used for fluorescence imaging with various dyes for cells, pharmaceuticals, and vaccine tracking.
You must have an approved IACUC protocol containing optical imaging. Register for an iLab solutions account. Arrange for instrument training with Jenna Steiner, AAS, CVT.
