Caliper Partners with Invitrogen for the Development and Distribution of VivoFluor Kits

Fluorescence labeling kits will be optimized for use in IVIS in vivo optical imaging systems.

Caliper Life Sciences announced a partnership with Molecular Probes, a wholly owned subsidiary of Invitrogen, to develop and distribute custom fluorescence labeling kits optimized for use in combination with Caliper’s IVIS® in vivo optical imaging systems.

The kits, VivoFluor 680 and 750, utilize the Invitrogen Alexa Fluor® 680 and 750 dyes and allow researchers to leverage the IVIS systems’ fluorescent-detection capabilities to accurately identify and tag specific molecular targets such as antibodies, proteins, and peptides, in living animals.
