A NEW CAMERA AGAINST CANCER

In the fight against cancer, researchers can now count on a new weapon in the truest sense of the word:
The brand-new ZephIR infrared camera, developed by our partner Photon Etc, is precise and efficient enough to see through the skin. The ZephIR infrared camera offers a higher resolution than magnetic resonance imaging, does not require manipulation of radioactive products like other medical imaging techniques and is less invasive.
Infrared light penetrates a few centimeters into the skin. One or two centimeters are still very good to see. At first sight this seems to be little, but it is already sufficient to help researchers in preclinical studies in mice. The small size of the rodents makes it possible to examine some of their organs directly.

In humans, the ZephIR camera could be used in combination with nanoprobes. For example, a customer has developed nanoprobes that are not yet approved on the market. If these nanoprobes are placed in the blood, the color changes, depending on the concentration of the microRNA that surrounds them. The presence of microRNAs may give appropriate evidence of cancer; so that the zephyr camera can detect the disease by observing the blood in a blood vessel near the body surface.
One of the largest customers of this highly efficient ZephIR infrared camera is the cancer research center in New York.

A NEW MARKET

In the medium term, the ZephIR camera can be used to analyze biopsies in immunotherapeutic treatments. These treatments must be calibrated for each individual case, based on the various biological information collected by means of biopsies. However, it is often difficult to obtain all the necessary information using the current equipment. The ZephIR camera allows up to 17 colors (frequency bands) during an analysis - in comparison, the well-known competitors offer only 7 colors.
