Multimodal Animal Cassettes (MMACs) are cassettes to position and support (for example mechanically, thermally, …) small rodents (mice and rats) while being imaged in instruments that use different techniques to generate the images. MMACs are designed for the following imaging instruments manufactured by Bruker:

 

Specific adapters are available to attach the MMACs to the corresponding imaging instruments.

If adequately prepared for, the rodents can remain in the MMAC while being carried from one to the other imaging instrument.

MMACs are not intended to be used in laboratories at Biosafety Level larger than two and in specific-pathogen-free (SFP) environments.

 

The MMACs have been designed and constructed solely for the intended use described here. Intended use also includes compliance with all specifications within this manual.

Any use which exceeds or differs from the intended use shall be considered improper use. No claims of any kind for damage will be entertained if such claims result from improper use.
