RA816 Biological Analyser
An easy to use and compact benchtop Raman imaging system that redefines
tissue and biofluid analysis.
The RA816 Biological Analyser enables you to identify and assess biochemical changes associated with disease formation and progression. There is little to no sample preparation, and no contrast agents or tags are needed.
Features
The RA816 Biological Analyser provides a practical solution for analysing biological samples. It is compact and transportable with optimised microscopic technology designed for biological and clinical sites.
- Easy to use hardware and software
- No need for stains or labels
- Minimal to no sample preparation
- Obtain full range of biochemical information (no need for prior knowledge of specific molecular targets)
Powerful software
The RA816 Biological Analyser is entirely computer-controlled. Its software manages every step of the measurement process using pre-defined experiment setups. The unique macro image provides a comprehensive overview of all subsequent work and enables easy sample navigation and visualisation.
High performance
Stable and repeatable analysis with integrated performance qualification and alignment. It features LiveTrack™ technology which enables you to track sample surface and retain focus on challenging samples and Streamline™ technology for high speed data collection and image generation.
Easy to use
The RA816 Biological Analyser is ideal for the clinical research environment and can acquire data unattended. Its queuing capability enables you to configure measurements and leave the instrument to run them; you can analyse multiple samples on a slide without the need for user intervention.
Applications
Classification of brain glioma tumours
In a study conducted with the University of Oxford Neuropathology Department in the UK, we demonstrated discrimination between diseased and healthy brain tissue using the RA816 Biological Analyser. We were able to differentiate diseased and healthy tissues without the need for disease marker discovery and targeting.
Monitoring transdermal drug delivery
In a study, conducted with Miss Rubinder Basson from University of Manchester, Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences, the system used Empty modelling™ to demonstrate the presence and penetration depth of a compound in different skin tissue layers following application of a topical formulation.
Medical research using
Raman Spectroscopy
The Renishaw Biological Analyser brings together the chemical analysis power of Raman spectroscopy (a light scattering technique) and advanced optical and spectroscopic imaging technologies in a simple, robust system. It produces outstanding results, quickly and easily. Watch the video to find out more.
