IVIS Imaging Service

Our IVIS imaging service work starts with the decision your program needs to make. We align on objectives, starting inputs, relevant constraints, and the standard a useful result must meet before we recommend a path forward. By shaping the engagement around those points, we keep technical activity, communication, and deliverables focused on what your team will actually use next.

Our IVIS imaging service capabilities

We offer advanced in vivo imaging using the state-of-the-art IVIS Spectrum system, enabling high-resolution, noninvasive imaging for both bioluminescent and fluorescent reporters. Our platform supports whole-body live animal imaging as well as ex vivo tissue analysis , ideal for longitudinal and endpoint studies. Ideal For: Researchers requiring real-time insights into biological processes, preclinical validation of therapeutic efficacy, or longitudinal tracking of cell-based therapies. This work sits within our Imaging Services, Pre-Clinical Research capabilities and is coordinated with the wider program context when the scope requires it.

• Multispectral Imaging: Full spectrum imaging from blue (430 nm) to near-infrared (850 nm)
• 2D & 3D Imaging: Combines traditional planar imaging with 3D optical tomography
• High Resolution: Up to 20 microns, enabling organ-level distinction and anatomical detail
• Dual Reporter Detection: Excellent for studies requiring multiple reporter tracking
• Molecular Imaging: Visualize gene expression, protein interactions, and pathway activity in vivo
• Anatomical Imaging: Detailed assessment of organ structure and morphology

How we shape the scope

We use the kickoff process to turn a broad request into an executable project. Together, we confirm what is in scope, what is not, which inputs are critical, who owns each decision, and what completion looks like. We surface dependencies early and set a practical review cadence. If the evidence suggests that the original plan should change, we discuss the impact before expanding the work or committing additional resources.

Working with our team

Our team treats communication as part of the technical service. We establish contacts, review points, and escalation paths at the outset, then use them to keep decisions moving. Interim conversations distinguish confirmed findings from working interpretations and unresolved questions. That separation is important: it lets the program team act with appropriate confidence while giving specialists space to investigate observations that require more context.

Deliverables built for the next decision

Outputs are planned for the people who will use them next. At kickoff, we agree on the required files, summaries, documentation, and review process rather than assuming a standard package will fit every program. Our final review connects the deliverables back to the original objective and highlights material observations, limitations within the performed scope, and follow-up questions. This makes the handoff more useful for internal review, partner discussions, and subsequent development planning.

Before execution, we also confirm how the work will connect with adjacent activities and which handoffs could affect quality, timing, or interpretation. That check helps us identify missing inputs early, avoid duplicated effort, and keep the completed package consistent with the program's immediate priorities. We record the decisions made during this alignment so the project team has a stable reference as work progresses.

Planning your IVIS imaging service project

The best starting point for IVIS imaging service is a concise brief covering the program question, current evidence, available inputs, constraints, expected outputs, and desired timeline. We use that brief to prepare a practical scope and identify any questions that should be resolved first. The proposal then gives both teams a shared basis for evaluating approach, effort, milestones, deliverables, and next steps.
