1. First of all: no mice were harmed during this installation!
In September 2018 a new instrument being sold by Zinsser Analytics has been installed in KU Leuven
which will be used for analysis of body composition of small rodents, especially mice, weighing not
more than 100g. The EchoMRI™-100H can measure even alive tissue with given special option down
to 7g. It will be used for research purposes only and will enable the happy researcher to analyze fat,
lean, free water, and total water masses in their test subjects.
The instrument class itself holds also a significant amount of success in research, which can be
proven by 1500 and more publications: LINK
Please free to check Mrs. Derde´s publication record in the future for analysis results of our newly
installed instrument, or, if interested contact her or myself for instrument related questions:
