Products / Services
KTAcrossflow streamlines the biopharmaceutical process development by fully automating small-scale cross flow filtration and simplifying membrane selection and process development at the research scale. Centricity Computerized Provider Order Entry is a suite of applications designed to provide real-time patient information at the point of care. Giraffe OmniBed and Incubators were designed in collaboration with neonatal clinicians and the families of NICU babies to provide the most advanced care for critically ill and premature infants. HDMR is the worlds first high definition magnetic resonance system. For the first time, it will provide physicians with unprecedented image clarity in cases where patients are difficult to image due to movement, including Parkinsons patients who suffer from uncontrollable patient motion and including children who do not respond to sedation. Innova 3100 is the worlds most advanced digital imaging system for visualizing the heart and fine vessels. InstaTrak Surgical Navigation System creates an anatomical roadmap and real-time visualization of surgical instrumentation to guide surgeons during life-critical procedures. LightSpeed RT is the world's first multi-slice CT system with a wide bore and advanced applications for more precise cancer care. LightSpeed VCT is has set the record for fastest volumetric imaging in the world. The LightSpeed VCT with its .35 second rotation and 40 millimeter coverage allows for true volumetric scanning of the heart in only five beats. The IN Cell Analyzer system enables scientists to study how the behavior of cells changes in response to a drug. Pharmaceutical partners use the technology to screen potential treatments for a variety of diseases including cancer and diabetes. Myoview is an advanced cardiac imaging agent used during nuclear medicine studies that helps clinicians visualize blood flow to the heart muscle. MegaBACE DNA Analysis System was used to sequence the first chromosome completely mapped during the Human Genome Project. eXplore Locus Ultra, the first pre-clinical CT system with unique capabilities, uses breakthrough flat panel detector technology to provide quantitative physiological measurements for application in stroke research, tumor studies, organ function and tissue viability. Signa HD MR delivers unprecedented imaging performance and significant clinical benefits for neurological, angiography and breast imaging. Vivid i is a miniaturized cardiovascular ultrasound system to provide high-performance, full-featured imaging in a lightweight design. The mobility of Vivid i will enable physicians to deliver care to the patient wherever its needed. Voluson 730 EXPERT Ultrasound system allows physicians to perform volume scanning in real-time, creating a 4D image for detecting and diagnosing conditions such as fetal heart defects and Down Syndrome.
