Bioptigen

Company Bio
Bioptigen has pioneered a new class of in vivo optical imaging systems for biomedical applications. These systems enable real-time non-invasive imaging of internal tissue microstructure, advancing critical applications in drug development, genetics research, tissue engineering, and medical vision.

Bioptigen is a spin-out of the Duke University Biomedical Engineering Department. Bioptigen was incorporated in North Carolina in August, 2004, to commercialize technologies originating in the laboratories of Professor Joseph Izatt. Bioptigen technology is based on the science of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), an imaging system similar in function to ultrasound, but using low-power light rather than sound waves. OCT offers resolution 100-times finer than standard ultrasound, suitable for analyzing tissue microstructure with features smaller than 4 micrometer.
