Frequently Asked Questions
How many times can I NIS image a single subject?
In principle, a single animal can be imaged numerous times. But because animals have to be anesthetized for each imaging session, the number of images that can be obtained is...

Is NIS safe to use?
The gene itself is very safe to use, but keep in mind that the lentivectors containing the gene are rated Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2) and radiation training is generally required for...

How can NIS technology help me?
If you want to study dynamic processes in living animals, such as the migration, proliferation and death of specific cell populations, changes in gene expression, or the spread of virus...

What is NIS?
NIS is a snitch. It transports radioactive iodide and other ‘NIS radiotracers’ into genetically marked, NIS-expressing cells which can then be ‘seen’ by noninvasive gamma camera, SPECT or PET imaging such...
