MRI Animal Positioning Systems

AutoPac

The motor driven automatic positioning system AutoPac™ simplifies animal handling and enables streamlined calibrated positioning for effortless and reproducible precision in preclinical routine applications. It includes an RF-shielding cover for instruments that are not placed in a Faraday cage. A variety of animal cradles tailored for different animal species, applications and RF coils are available. The AutoPac is available for a variety of MRI instruments.

Features

  • Motor driven automatic positioning system for animal cradles
  • Push-button animal positioning using a laser crosshair and a digital control panel
  • Provides necessary RF shielding equivalent to a Faraday cage in combination with the Component Cabinet at the Magnet (CCM)
  • Simple handling to increase animal throughput
  • Multi-functional filter plate and tube management system for smooth cable and tube routing
  • Emergency stop button
  • Compatible with Classic Animal Cradles tailored for different animal species, applications, and RF coils
  • Adapters for use of other animal cradle types (MMAC, MMPF) available to support multi-modal cross-platform sample transfer
