- In February 2024, Bruker a company manufacturing scientific instruments announced the acquisition of Special Instruments Imaging LLC, a preclinical in-vivo optical imaging systems company. The acquisition filled the gap in technology and product portfolio of Bruker BioSpin Preclinical Imaging division
- In March 2024, the IVSCOPE8000Pro small animal in-vivo imaging system was launched, offering high-resolution, multi-modal imaging capabilities for preclinical research. The system supports fluorescence, bioluminescence, and X-ray imaging, enabling real-time tracking of disease progression and therapeutic effects. It is designed for enhanced sensitivity and ease of use in drug development and biomedical studies
- In June 2025, the UVP iBox Scientia Small Animal Imaging System was introduced, offering high-resolution, non-invasive imaging capabilities for preclinical research. Equipped with a deeply cooled CCD camera, it enables sensitive detection of fluorescent and bioluminescent markers in live animals
- In March 2024, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced the Small Animal In Vivo Imaging (SAIVI™) system, a comprehensive suite of reagents and kits designed for advanced preclinical imaging applications. The SAIVI system utilizes near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent dyes, including Alexa Fluor and Qdot probes, to label antibodies and proteins for non-invasive optical imaging in live small animals
- In July 2014, PerkinElmer and Sofie Biosciences announced a strategic partnership to deliver benchtop PET in vivo imaging systems to preclinical research professionals. This collaboration combines PerkinElmer's preclinical expertise with Sofie Biosciences' PET capabilities to offer advanced imaging solutions
