RA816 Biological Analyser

An easy to use and compact benchtop Raman imaging system that redefines
tissue and biofluid analysis.

Designed exclusively for the biological community, the system rapidly obtains detailed information on the distribution and amount of biochemical species within biological samples including tissue biopsies, tissue sections and biofluids.

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.

RA816 Biological Raman Analyser

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)

RA816 Biological Raman analyser

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.

RA816 Biological Raman analyser and screen

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.

RA816 Biological Raman analyser

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

Raman image of brain tissue

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.

Transdermal Raman image

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.
