GadoSpin M is our all-purpose extracellular gadolinium chelate agent for classical contrast-enhanced MRI and for studying CNS diseases. The trusted standard from human clinical MRI has been formulated for small animal imaging.

The trusted all-purpose MRI agent from clinical practice:

  • Is rapidly distributed in vascular and interstitial space
  • Does not permeate membranes or the intact blood-brain barrier
  • GadoSpin M is Viscover's tried and tested extracellular MRI agent

Rely on a substance that is well-proven in clinical practice for the:

  • Investigation of blood-brain barrier abnormalities in brain tumors and neuroinflammation
  • Delineation of tissues based on its differential distribution
Physico-chemical properties and structure

Relaxivity (37 °C, 1.5T)

In plasma:

GadoSpin™ M brain tumor and whole body MRI
Intracranial tumor in mouse exhibits contrast enhancement after GadoSpin M has passed the compromised blood-brain barrier. The image series shows tumor progression.
Mouse whole body images offer enhanced soft-tissue contrast by using GadoSpin M. Three slices of the dataset are shown.
