MRS Series Preclinical Imaging MRI Systems

MR Solutions offer revolutionary MRI systems for translational preclinical research. The MRS series MRI systems employ leading edge technology which is packaged into a cost-effective solution that provides you with the highest level of soft tissue contrast and molecular imaging capability.

At the core of the MRS MRI systems are their cryogen-free superconducting magnets that have almost no fringe field and require no liquid helium cooling. This, combined with their compact size enables you to integrate these systems into your laboratory alongside other imaging modalities increasing your analytical power and hastening your research.

Key Features

• Cryogen-free superconducting magnets requiring no liquid helium cooling
• Systems from 3T to 9T with variable field strength from 0.1T
• Bore sizes from 17 to 31cm
• Low fringe field allowing them to be used any facility
• No special site requirements
• Low running costs
• Low weight and compact size
• Can be co-located with other instruments for multi-modal imaging labs e.g. with PET, SPECT, CT, optical etc.
• Multi-modal interchangeable beds
• Ideal for class 3 and 4 labs

Complete Animal Handling Solution

MRS series MRI systems can be supplied with industry standard accessories such as the latest generation of animal beds for handling of animals such as mice, rats and rabbits.

MR Solutions understand the importance to your research of being able to perform in vivo studies using different imaging modes in different instruments with the ability to image the same animal and the same region at various time intervals. As such, the animal beds are designed multi-modal ready and suit almost every commercially available system.

Features of the animal beds include:

• Graduated beds to facilitate positioning reproducibility
• Tooth bar to immobilising the animal
• Closed cycle warm air heating
• Provision for gas anaesthesia
• Provisions for physiological monitoring and cardiac/respiratory gating
• Integrated stereotactic holder

Site Requirements

Unlike other systems that use Wet magnet technology that requires liquid helium cooling, the MRS series MRI systems have no special site requirements.

• Lightweight means no need for reinforced concrete floors
• Negligible fringe field means no need for Faraday cages
• Cryogen-free superconducting magnets (dry magnets) means no need for liquid helium cooling systems
• Compact size means no special height requirements for the room
