Infrared Microplate Reader

Excite your probes at any wavelengths to validate their NIR-II emissions

The ClaIR NIR-II microplate reader is able to capture full fluorescence spectra from 900 nm to 1600 nm and the transmittance spectrum from 500 nm to 1600 nm. Using the included software, the ClaIR plate reader can perform a range of endpoint and kinetic applications. The instrument comes with your preferred laser-based excitation sources, which can be complemented by a high-power tunable light source. An optional benchtop probe is available, extending the capabilities to in vivo measurements.

In Vivo NIR-II Imaging: A Disruptive Force for Preclinical Research

Authors Stephen Marchant, Jacob Yvon-Leroux and Émilie Beaulieu Ouellet

Abstract

In vivo imaging in the second near-infrared biological window (NIR-II) is in its early stages but will undoubtedly affect life science research on many levels. The NIR-II (short-wave infrared, or SWIR) imaging modality is not affected by drawbacks of light propagation in living tissues in the same way that other techniques are. Thus, it enables much deeper real-time imaging of optical probes in…
