In Vivo Tumor Metabolism Analysis Services

Overview

While in vitro cell models provide valuable insights into tumor cell metabolism, studying the metabolism of tumor cells in the body is a closer approximation to the actual situation. Therefore, studying metabolism in vivo is a crucial step in understanding actual tumor metabolism. At Creative Biolabs, we offer various tools and services to support your research on tumor metabolism. Our team of experts provides various noninvasive imaging modalities to quantitatively measure tumor metabolism in animal models. Our methods include positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT), micro CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and optical imaging.

Our Services

We can assist you with the following:

• In Vivo Isotope Tracing for Tumor Metabolism

Isotope tracing in vivo is a technology used to study tumor cell metabolism. This technology utilizes nutrients with isotope marks. When these isotope-marked nutrients enter tumor cells, they are used to synthesize biomolecular molecules, thereby revealing the metabolic pathway of tumor cells. Combined with imaging technologies such as positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), isotope tracing can provide a more comprehensive understanding of tumor biology. At Creative Biolabs, we have a professional team with rich experience in isotope tracing technology. We utilize various technologies to trace the metabolic process of tumor cells in vivo.

• Metabolism-based Fluorescent Imaging

Metabolic fluorescent imaging is a technology used to study tumor cell metabolism. This technology utilizes a fluorescent dye to label metabolites, which will emit fluorescence under a specific wavelength. By observing the fluorescence of these dyes, the metabolic status and pathway of tumor cells can be revealed. This technique provides a non-invasive method to study tumor cell metabolism in real-time, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the disease process. At Creative Biolabs, we use a range of fluorescent dyes to label metabolites. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our metabolic fluorescent imaging techniques to provide clients with the best results.
