Ultrasound Research System

By Biotechdaily staff writers
Posted on 01 Aug 2005
A new ultrasound research system has been designed for academic, research, and scientific institutions.

The Sonix RP, developed by Ultrasonix Medical Corp. More...
(Burnaby, Canada), is equipped with an investigational research package that includes pre-beam forming real-time acquisition software, radio frequency (RF) mode, and a software development kit (SDK) for client applications. With flexible control of the complete ultrasound signal path in an open architecture, the unit is the only open research-driven system currently available. Furthermore, the unit provides total control and access to pre- and post-beamformer RF data. In an investigative application, for example, the Sonix RP provides custom filtering, envelope, detection, and compression of acquired data.

The compact size of the unit makes it portable and easy to handle. Along with 80 gigabyte storage space, Sonix RP features high-image quality, front-load CD/DVD drive, and two front-load USB 2.0 drives for maximum data transfer convenience.

"The Ultrasonix research package offers an unparalleled level of control over its scanner, which has proven to be invaluable to my research at the University of Tennessee and it has been a pleasure dealing with their knowledgeable engineering staff,” said Dr. Thaddeus Wilson, assistant professor of radiological physics at the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, TN, USA).

Ultrasonix provides linear, convex-linear, phased, and other specialty transducers. In addition to conventional service support and remote diagnostics, the Sonix RP is capable of software upgrade via the Internet.

The platform combines broad-range amplification using conserved regions of the 16S and 23S rRNA genes with species-specific CRISPR recognition. Fluorescence-coded CRISPR droplets are paired with sample droplets containing amplified products, enabling multiplexed target recognition and signal decoding (Image Credit: Yiwen Yang, Jingsong Xu, Dakang Xu)

Nanodroplet CRISPR Technology Supports Rapid, Multiplexed Mycobacterial Identification

Mycobacterial infections are difficult to diagnose because closely related species can have different clinical and therapeutic implications. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized... Read more
