September 9, 2020, Utrecht, The Netherlands and Bergisch Gladbach, Germany -- Miltenyi Biotec B.V. & Co. KG, a global provider of products and services for advancing biomedical research and cellular therapy, and MILabs B.V. announced today that Miltenyi has acquired a high-end MILabs VECTor OI/CT system. This hybrid Optical Imaging with in-line X-ray CT comes with a unique Duet Optical docking station so that both high-throughput 2D optical imaging as well as CT-guided 3D optical tomography of deep tissue can be performed. Moreover, the X-ray CT system enables diagnostic imaging including high-resolution soft-tissue visualization with contrast agents.
“We are excited to add this advanced hybrid Optical/CT preclinical imaging system to our research platform” says Dr. Wa’el Al Rawashdeh, Ph.D, Group Leader Preclinical Studies and Cell Tracking at Miltenyi Biotec. “By combining our expertise in cell analysis and innovative detection reagents and technologies we will be able to exploit MILabs’ VECTor OI/CT exclusive imaging capabilities to further develop pioneering tools and reagents for biomedical research, in particular cell and gene therapy, as well as preclinical and clinical cell-therapy tracking technologies”.
“Our mission has always been to develop and market new preclinical imaging technologies such as our hybrid 2D/3D Optical/CT system” explains Prof. Frederik Beekman, CEO/CSO of MILabs B.V. We are grateful that Miltenyi Biotec, which has extensive expertise in developing both optical and X-ray CT probes and contrast agents, has selected MILabs as its supplier for preclinical imaging products”.
