High-Throughput
In Vivo Bioluminescence
Imaging System
The IVIS® SpectrumBL is an
advanced high-throughput 2D
and 3D optical imaging system
designed to improve quantitative
outcomes of bioluminescence,
chemiluminescence and
Cerenkov in vivo imaging.
The SpectrumBL supports 10 mice simultaneous imaging for true
high-throughput imaging for longitudinal studies to support
large cohorts of mice. It uses unique optical imaging technology
to facilitate non-invasive longitudinal monitoring of disease
progression, cell trafficking and gene expression patterns in living
animals.
High-Throughput Bioluminescence Imaging
120% more compounds can be evaluated annually in vivo.
Getting more compounds screened for target or biomarker
validation in vivo during the earlier stages of pre-clinical drug
discovery significantly improves efficiency in later clinical
stage development.
The IVIS SpectrumBL provides the best in class bioluminescence
sensitivity, a standard with all IVIS imaging systems, with the
ability to image 10 mice (Figure 1) at once. The 10 mouse
manifold that comes standard with SpectrumBL improves drug
discovery workflow by reducing imaging times for longitudinal
studies in half. The chart (Figure 1) shows that with SpectrumBL

high-throughput imaging capabilities of SpectrumBL.
Bioluminescence Imaging - Best in Class
In Vivo Sensitivity
IVIS SpectrumBL has a cooled (-90 °C) camera with large CCD
chip area and low F-stop for high sensitivity bioluminescent
light detection. Image multiple bioluminescent reporters such
as firefly luciferase, Renilla luciferase and bacterial luciferase

in vivo at depth with rapidly and quantitatively. The ultra
sensitive camera optics allows single cell detection, earlier
monitoring of micrometastasis in vivo and track tumor
development longitudinally in vivo. Other applications include
infectious disease (Figure 3), stem cell tracking and toxicology.

Cerenkov Imaging – Optimized Software Tools for
Faster Workflow
Advanced 3D Analysis with MicroCT
Co-registration Tools
Living Image® software brings IVIS technology to life by
facilitating an intuitive workflow for image acquisition, analysis
and data organization Living Image software in SpectrumBL has
new features such as an imaging mode optimized for Cerenkov
imaging. The software guides the user for optimal camera
parameter settings for high signal-to-noise when detecting light
emitted from radionuclide-injected animal subjects.
Look deeper, see further, and take science to a new level of
sophistication with the 3D technology from PerkinElmer. 3D
diffuse luminescence tomography (DLIT) utilizes structured
light data with bioluminescence images to reconstruct three
dimensional representations of bioluminescent reporters. Take
the next step and analyze 3D sources in an anatomical context
with the Digital Mouse Atlas (Figure 5).
The optional DyCE™ mode makes it very easy to set up
biodistribution scans of radiopharmaceuticals. Spectrally unmix
radionuclides from other light-emitting probes of very different
spectra. The DyCE technique acquires a series of dynamic images
following an injection of radionuclide. The location of major
internal organs is derived by proprietary algorithms and displayed
in minutes (Figure 4). The DyCE software module includes the
Multi-View platform and software that extends the functionality
of Living Image and is available for all IVIS systems.
The tomography tool allows the quantification of the number
of cells in a tumor and 3D co-registration of bioluminescent
reporter. Seamlessly co-register 3D bioluminescence with
Quantum FX microCT (Figure 6).

Figure 4. A mouse bearing a subcutaneous 4T1-luc2 tumor in its right flank was
injected with 315 μCi of 18F-FDG intravenously. The animal was imaged dynamically starting 55 seconds post-injection to capture the distribution
of 18F-FDG in the mouse body via Cerenkov light from positron emission.
