Problem
Current methods for analyzing cellular metabolism in embryos and stem-cell organoids often involve invasive procedures or toxic additives, compromising the integrity of the sample. Traditional techniques also lack the sensitivity to characterize the metabolic fingerprint of microscopic life accurately and efficiently.
Solution
Annaida Technologies offers EmbryoSpin, a micro-Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (micro-MRS) device that enables non-invasive analysis of cellular metabolism in microscopic biological samples. The device leverages magnetic resonance spectroscopy to characterize the metabolic fingerprint of delicate 3D biological samples without the need for contrast agents or invasive procedures. EmbryoSpin allows researchers to analyze samples ranging from 50 microns to 1 millimeter in size, such as microtissues, embryos, and organoids. The device yields a complete reading of the chemistry inside biological samples, eliminating the need for multiple cumbersome techniques. It can be used as an add-on to an existing or newly purchased magnet.
Target Audience
The primary users are researchers in toxicology, drug discovery, and life science labs, as well as ART (Assisted Reproductive Therapy) professionals in fertility clinics.
