Aspect Imaging launched a complete line of compact MRI systems for a wide variety of pre-clinical applications. The three “M”-series compact MRI systems include the M10, a new compact MRI model for pre-clinical imaging of larger species and the M3, a new compact MRI model for imaging of mice for phenotypic research. The two new models complement the 3D MR-based Histology system for toxicology research as well as the current M2 platform, which is being used in the Bruker ICON compact MRI system, a leading compact MRI system for mouse and rat-based pre-clinical research and drug development.

The Aspect Imaging compact MRI platform does not require a shielded room, cryogens, specialty plumbing or high-capacity electrical power. The “M”-series platform features a self-shielded, permanent magnet that can be placed in most settings as it does not require special infrastructure. As such, it provides the researcher or core imaging facility manager with the power of MRI but at a fraction of the cost and without the complexity and ongoing maintenance of superconducting and cryogen-free MRI installations.
