Fast, Non-invasive Body Composition Analysis for Preclinical and Laboratory Research
The Bruker minispec LF Series is a trusted line of TD-NMR (Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) instruments optimized for non-invasive body composition analysis in preclinical and laboratory settings. Body fat, lean mass, and free/total body water can be measured in approximately 2 minutes without sample preparation. The minispec LF Series enables repeated, non-destructive measurements throughout an animal's lifespan, making it ideal for longitudinal studies and treatment monitoring. Additionally, the LF series can be used for non-destructive analysis of food, feed, and fecal samples, providing additional flexibility for nutrition, metabolism, and obesity research.
🔹 minispec LF50
For mice up to 60g
🔹 minispec LF90II
For rats up to 700g; dual-probe system for mice, organs, and biopsies
🔹 minispec LF110
Handles heavier rats (up to 1kg); same dual-probe versatility as LF90II
Non-Invasive & Anesthetic-Free
Measurements are performed on conscious animals, reducing animal stress and avoiding anesthesia-related recovery periods.
High Sensitivity & Precision
Unique probe-in-probe design optimizes both signal quality and filling factors to enable highly sensitive measurements, including in very small samples such as neonatal mice or biopsies.
Fast & Repeatable
Get full-body composition results in under 2 minutes—perfect for daily monitoring.
Reduces Animal Stress
Bruker’s patented red restrainers align with rodents’ dichromatic vision, encouraging voluntary entry and reducing handling stress.
Temperature-Stabilized Magnet
Improves consistency and intra-exam accuracy.
Simple Workflow
Integrated software guides users through setup, measurement, and data export with no NMR expertise required.
