Bruker SkyScan 1276 microCT preclinical imaging system

Bruker’s latest preclinical imaging system is designed to deliver high performance and improved convenience for routine imaging, and to enable novel translational research into the causes, progression, potential diagnosis and treatment of disease. 

The SkyScan 1276 microCT combines high resolution, speed, accessibility and other innovations to improve in vivo scanning of small laboratory animals and of in vitro biological samples in preclinical studies. With continuously variable magnification including a small pixel size of 2.8 µm, and a short scanning cycle of 3.9 s, the product gives researchers access to high-quality images at high throughput.

The device is said to be the first in vivo microCT system with rapid helical scanning and InstaRecon technology to reconstruct images up to 8000 x 8000 pixels per slice. Researchers will also benefit from easy system control by a user-friendly touch screen and the ability to view and share images on any iOS or Android mobile device.
