Whole organ 3D imaging
Obtain unique endpoints with Gubra 3D imaging platform
Light sheet microscopy and whole organ immunohistochemistry are revolutionizing our understanding of disease progression and drug distribution. Gubra has implemented these novel technologies into our existing pre-clinical platform and now offers 3D imaging of intact organs with single cell resolution.
3D imaging is particularly useful when studying complex structures such as the vasculature or neuronal innervation. By injecting fluorescently labelled molecules, such as peptides or antibodies, you can also use the technology to visualize distribution throughout the body and in particular how they access the CNS.
