Mediso   Booth #702    www.mediso.com
 
During WMIC 2014, Mediso is showcasing the newly developed portable MultiScan LFER 150 PET/CT scanner. The system is designed for research applications, allowing up to 20 centimetre transaxial field of view. This 
combined with high sensitivity and sub-millimetre spatial resolution makes it unique in the field. The versatile motions of the detector head, provide the system with a greater degree of flexibility and offers solutions to the 
special challenges in the neurological imaging research area. This even allows for the imaging of conscious non-human primates.
Our exhibition this year also features the nanoScan imaging system family.  With special emphasis on the youngest member: nanoScan SPECT/MRI and the established nanoScan PET/MRI. These fully integrated cameras lead the market in MRI based combined imaging systems, now celebrating their 20th worldwide installation.

Pepric     Booth #422     www.pepric.com
 
Magnetic particle quantification ex-vivo with PPS3 

Pepric presents the PPS3, the most sensitive and accurate quantification instrument for magnetic nanoparticle analysis in blood and tissues. It allows to reconstruct the quantitative biodistribution of theranostic magnetic particles and contrast agents, or of therapeutic (stem) cells labeled with magnetic particles. Learn about the results obtained with PPS3 applied in the study of the pharmacokinetics of particles and cells, enabling the determination of particle bloodclearance time, saturation dose and optimization of dose repetition time. The PPS3 offers instant quantitative results, is selective for the particles and requires no sample preparation.
