In-vivo Imaging and Biocontainment

The challenge is decontamination.

Published November 2007 The use of in-vivo imaging creates unique considerations for biocontainment facilities.

Combining in vivo imaging with biocontainment presents totally new facility planning and operating challenges due to the problem of decontaminating imaging equipment, using biosafety equipment in proximity to strong magnetic fields, cross contamination at the imaging interface, and more. This challenge is coming soon to a facility near you!
