MEDPHOT MATRIX
The 16-half MEDPHOT matrix is BioPixS’s most popular product. It is made of 16 homogeneous phantoms that could aid the standardization and testing of instruments in biophotonics across a broad range of optical properties relevant to human tissue. This product is a result of explicit interest expressed by the customers to own a matrix kit.
One of the best applications of Matrix is to run the MEDPHOT protocol. MEDPHOT objectively assesses system performance to measure optical properties (absorption, reduced scattering coefficient) in terms of 5 variables: 1) accuracy, 2) linearity, 3) noise, 4) stability, 5) reproducibility. This rigorousness of the protocol allows us to understand and potentially correct, the systematic error present in the system, data processing and analysis algorithm.

HOMOGENEOUS PHANTOMS
Homogeneous phantoms are classical single or set of phantoms. This can serve a range of requirements, to reference, calibration, characterisation of Biophotonics devices, during day to day routine operation or troubleshooting. BioPixS deep expertise in optical properties of various tissue types is one step away to customize phantom tools for your research. Our catalogue has a wide range of phantoms with diverse optical properties, geometry and size. Could not find a phantom that meets your requirements? Feel free to contact us to discuss you specific phantom needs.

MULTI-LAYER PHANTOM
The idea behind multi-layer phantoms is to mimic the heterogeneous multi-layer nature of biological tissue. These phantoms are the perfect choice to systematically assess the effect of each layer parameters on the measured optical properties and system performance. A well defined system performance assessment protocol can be designed based on the specific application and parameters to evaluate. A protocol similar to MEDPHOT can be tailored with multilayer phantoms choosing the range of appropriate layers to change.
Features:
· layer thickness as small as 100 µm
· customized wavelength characterisation in 480-1050 nm range
· available in various geometries and dimensions
· reproducible, coupling free Time-domain diffuse optical (TDDO) characterisation
· traceable datasheets, share and benchmark your research with BioPixS traceable customers
ANTHROPOMORPHIC PHANTOMS
Anthropomorphic phantoms mimic anatomical features in addition to optical properties. While developing portable and wearable Biophotonics devices like fNIRS head cap, pulse oximeter, etc., it is critical to test the device with realistic anatomical features. Validating the device on realistic phantoms allows developers to understand geometry related boundary effects, coupling behavious in multiprobe system (eg. multi-probe fNIRS head cap) and accounts for the inherent bias in the system performance.
BioPixS anthropomorphic phantoms are created using MRI and CT scans thus for reproducing exact anatomical features in addition to optical properties. The use of standard atlas or user defined MRI/CT scans allows developers to perform tissue optics simulation anatomical models and validate them on phantoms.
Features:
· customized anthropomorphic phantoms from CT/MRI scans or standard atlas
· layer thickness as small as 100 µ m
· multi-layer anthropomorphic feature possibility
· customized wavelength characterisation in 480-1050 nm range.
· reproducible, coupling free Time-domain diffuse optical (TDDO) characterisation
· traceable datasheets, share and benchmark your research with BioPixS traceable customers
What are biophotonics optical phantoms?
Biophotonics optical phantoms are specialized tools designed to mimic the optical properties of biological tissues. These meticulously crafted phantoms serve as essential calibration and validation instruments for optical imaging systems used in medical research and clinical applications. By replicating the behavior of real tissues, our biophotonics optical phantoms provide a controlled environment for testing and fine-tuning optical imaging devices, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Recently, the demand for biophotonics optical phantoms has increased due to the growing recognition of the importance of optical imaging in medical research and clinical practice, as well as the development of new and more sophisticated imaging technologies and need for standardization and quality control in medical imaging. Optical imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescence imaging, and photoacoustic imaging, are widely used in various medical fields, including ophthalmology, dermatology, oncology, and cardiology.
Optical phantoms are used as calibration and validation tools for these imaging techniques, as they provide a standardized and controlled environment for testing and evaluating the performance of optical imaging systems. They are also used to train medical professionals and researchers in the use of these imaging techniques.
The market for biophotonics optical phantoms is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by advancements in medical research and increasing demand for non-invasive imaging technologies.
In this context BioPixS is committed to deliver the best possible products on the market. Our dedicated team of experts combines precision engineering with innovative design to create optical phantoms that meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
Currently, BioPixS has customers (leading research institutes, startups and companies) across 10+ countries and growing. Research with BioPixS phantoms can be traceable within the networks of customers as all manufacturing and characterisation is done centrally at BioPixS lab in the same reliable way. Simply cite the unique trace code that comes with BioPixS phantoms in your dissemination (e.g. conference, publications) activities.
