HMS IVIS

An in vivo mouse imaging core was established in 2013 in the Harvard Center for Comparative Medicine (HCCM) NRB facility. This was made possible with funds from the Harvard Medical School Tools and Technology (TnT) Committee, the Department of Cell Biology, and the Harvard Program in Therapeutic Science (HiTS). The core has a Perkin Elmer Lumina II.

 

Please see the Lumina II FAQ for answers to frequently asked questions about the instrument.

Lumina II Fees

All ICCB-L fees are revised annually based upon the Harvard Fiscal Year (July 1 - June 30). The fee structure is updated on the ICCB-L website as soon as it is available. All charges are based on the training and usage fee at the time of service, not a previously provided estimate or price structure from a pervious fiscal year.

  • A one-time training fee is charged for each individual trained on the Lumina II.

In addition to the Lumina II, an IVIS Spectrum is housed in the same location.

The Spectrum was purchased with an NIH shared instrumentation grant, (PI: Judy Lieberman, Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine (PCMM) an affiliate of Children’s Hospital Boston) and is managed by PCMM. For information about access to and use of the Spectrum, please contact James Falvo (james.falvo@childrens.harvard.edu).
