FeraSpinTM R is based on the clinically proven Ferucarbotran and forms the basis of all products within the FeraSpin Series. FeraSpin R is rapidly taken up by liver and spleen macrophages.

Viscover's proven superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticle agent:

  • Consists of nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 10-90 nanometers
  • Is rapidly taken up by macrophages in the liver and spleen
  • Delivers optimal T2/T2* contrast
  • FeraSpin R is Viscover's leading liver imaging agent for T2-weighted MRI

Apply FeraSpin R SPIO nanoparticles to:

  • Effectively visualize spleen, liver and liver tumor morphology in excellent detail in T1-weighted MR images
  • Study nanoparticle physiology with ease
  • Rely on a substance well-proven in clinical practice
