History
Ai4r or Atlantic Instruments for Research was founded in 2012 by Jérôme Donnard after 10 years of research.
Our imaging solution was designed by the fundamental research laboratory Subatech in Nantes, France.
Through our R&D department, our machine was improved to offer you a new generation of gas detector for real-time autoradiography in the field of preclinical research.
The BeaQuant can be used to locate the radioactivity of all alpha or beta emitters in various size samples. Our innovative technology based on a quantitative mapping of radioactivity as a large range of applications in sciences fields as Oncology, Neuroscience, Drug Discovery, Ex Vivo preclinical studies or Geology.
The creation of the BeaQuant was driven by the desire to give researchers image precision up to 20 µm with 3H radioisotope, shorter exposure time compared to phosphor screens and black imaging plates and sensitivity even with a small amount of radioactivity in a sample.
