ExiTronTM nano 6000 is an innovative nanoparticle agent for liver imaging, the detection of liver tumors and metastases. It is quickly phagocytosed by Kupffer cells and allows hepatic visualization for several weeks after injection.

The unique CT agent for efficecive liver imaging:

  • Accumulates in healthy liver and spleen tissue, delivering superior contrast
  • Has a long liver retention time enabling hepatic imaging for several weeks after a single injection
  • Exitron nano 6000 is Viscover’s leading CT agent for the visualization of
    liver morphology

Apply ExiTron nano 6000 to:

  • Effectively investigate liver morphology from hours to weeks after injection
  • Discover its clear advantage for detection of liver tumors/metastases in your animal model
  • Quantitate tumor burden with ease
  • Benefit from the low injection volume and high cardiovascular tolerability compared to conventional agents
