Hi All -

We are interested in purchasing a new rodent animal imaging instrument to replace an aging IVIS system.  I would appreciate learning if there are competitor systems to the IVIS or does it remain the "gold standard" for live animal imaging using bioluminescence or fluorescence detection.  I look forward to hearing from anyone who has such systems.

thank  you,

Hi Julie - at the University of Colorado, we have recently replaced our old IVIS200 with two Revivify IVIS Spectrum - and even added one IVIS Spectrum/CT. Mostly because yes, it is a superb system and our researchers have a solid expertise/ know the system and software well and feel comfortable. But there are also the Spectral Instruments (recently purchased by Bruker) - there optical scanners (Lago?) are great as well. I believe Fred Hutch has one or two of those

Hi Julie, 

I recently reached out to Scintica for information on their optical systems which look really nice.  We have 2 IVIS Luminas in our core, about 10 years old. I was specifically looking at the Newton 7.0, which looks great. And the price is competitive for what it can do. There is a nearby company that has one, which I need to go and check out in action, but ultimately I think it is a great option.
