Crown Bioscience has entered into a collaboration agreement with Xstrahl, a designer and manufacturer of x-ray systems for radiation biology research.
CrownBio will implement the SARRP research platform supplied by Xstrahl, based on image-guided microirradiation (IGMI) techniques at its PRECOS facility in Nottingham, U.K.
CrownBio will offer contract research oncology models that provide an irradiation service based on targeted-beam radiation therapy, to mimic the clinical situation for patients in the preclinical setting.
Via its collaboration with Xstrahl, CrownBio is now able to offer its customers CT imaging with precise radiation delivery. The platform provides the ability to perform combination studies in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and cell-line-derived xenograft (CDX) models as well as in vitro, in addition to irradiated subjects for hematological or more fastidious models.
