EchoMRI 3-in-1™ for mice

The EchoMRI 3-in-1™ is a QNMR system that measures body fat, lean mass, body fluids, and total body water in live mice from 15-100 grams, without the need for anesthesia or sedation, in less than 1 minute. Furthermore, it gives researchers the added benefit of being able to measure fat, lean, and free fluids in tissue samples weighing 0.2-10 grams, as well as biopsy samples weighing up to 30 milligrams.

The device operation is extremely easy and does not require any background knowledge. Data analysis is automatic, with results stored in a preconfigured database. The device is a stand-alone unit, uses standard power sources, and is completely shielded and safe to run.
