The global leader in innovative products for tissue blood flow and oxygen assessment

We began to use Moor Instruments laser-Doppler flowmeters in our human cardiovascular physiology studies after meeting the company founder, Dr Dave Boggett at an Experimental Biology Meeting in the early 1990's. Dr. Boggett's enthusiasm for improving LDF was clear to us and resulted in a relationship between our lab and Moor that has lasted to this day. We have used laser-Doppler flowmetry as well as Imaging equipment from Moor with great success. We have found Moor equipment to be extremely dependable and innovative. We look forward to additional innovative laser-Doppler equipment from Moor that will expand the questions we can address.

We bought a moorFLPI-2 two-dimensional imaging system to measure the cerebral blood flow (CBF) of adult mice during and after hypoxic-ischemic insults. We found this to be a powerful, yet extremely easy-to-use system that provides a global view of CBF alterations in various conditions. With this system, not only we can see CBF alterations in both hemispheres in real-time and without opening the skull, but also we can quantify the average flow units in any region-of-interest over any segment of the entire recording, which can run more than hours without freezing the computer. In a nutshell, moorFLPI-2 is the most user-friendly system for studying cerebral blood flow regulation in rodents.

I have been using Moor Instruments laser Doppler flowmeters for almost 20 years, in a number of extreme environments laboratories. The equipment is robust, reliable, and and affords very sensitive measurement. Some of our sensors and equipment are more than 10 years old remain in regular use when our main newer systems are fully engaged. We have used various Moor systems over the years for assessing human thermoregulatory responses to a variety of extreme environments including heat, cold, altitude, and occasionally in or underwater. We also use the sensors to help medical colleagues to diagnose non-freezing cold-injuries, and to assess their severity. The company are a pleasure to deal with and respond very quickly to requests. I cannot rate the company or the staff highly enough.
