LI-COR Solutions

LI-COR Biosciences is a leader in providing imaging systems and IRDye infrared fluorescent dyes, reagents, and optical agents that set new standards for protein and cellular assay research, microscopy, and in vivo small animal imaging.

Advantages of LI-COR Biosciences' Infrared Imaging Technology

IRDye Infrared Dyes

LI-COR IRDye® Infrared Dye family of 700 and 800 nm dyes use emission wavelengths that offer low autofluorescence, and very low non-specific binding. The result is high signal-to-noise ratios and superior detection sensitivity. IRDye infrared fluorescent dyes, reagents, and optical agents set new standards for protein and cellular assays, microscopy, and in vivo small animal imaging.

Odyssey Infrared Imaging Systems

Direct Detection and Quantitation for Western Blots and Cell-Based Assays
Identifying potential therapeutic targets and measuring efficacy of an agent against a particular target are major focuses of cancer research. A significant trend in western blot analysis and cell-based assay applications is the move from qualitative to quantitative analysis. LI-COR Biosciences' direct infrared fluorescence detection system is especially well-suited for this purpose because it allows quantitative analysis over a wide linear dynamic range.

Pearl Impulse Imager

Exceptional Sensitivity for In Vivo Imaging
A fundamental key to the study of disease progression is the ability to image tumors early, while they are still small. Additionally, it is often essential to image deep within an animal to detect hidden tumors or to spot metastases. Infrared imaging eliminates most animal tissue autofluorescence, allowing deeper tissue penetration, and greater sensitivity and visibility.

Translational Research

Compatibility with Translational Applications
In vivo researchers are increasingly seeking instrumentation and optical dyes that will provide ease-of-use and compatibility when bridging to translational applications. Imaging in infrared provides a pre-clinical laboratory solution compatible with systems intended for imaging in humans that are either currently available or in clinical trials.
