IVIS Lumina II Bioluminescence camera for laboratory animal research

The IVIS Lumina II is a bioluminescence camera for the detection of luciferase-transfected cells in laboratory animals (mice). The detection is based on the local catalysis of injected luciferin into light. Sensitive detection of metastases (even in the bone marrow) is the most important application in cancer research. The method also allows to monitor the evolution of cancer progression within the same animal.
