BeaQuant - The next generation for digital autoradiography

Ai4r has devised and designed a new generation of gas detectors for real-time autoradiography in the field of ex-vivo or in-vitro preclinical research, ex vivo preclinical imaging in nuclear medicine.

Our innovative technology combines speed, precision and sensitivity to locate the radioactivity of all alpha, beta minus and beta plus emitters in a wide field of view and in a shorter exposure time.

The BeaQuant is the first autoradiograph to be simultaneously a beta particles imager and an alpha imager.
