The NIRSbox System
PIONIRS unveils the most accurate TD-NIRS instrument available on the market.
The NIRSbox is a compact, dual-wavelength TD-NIRS system ideal for investigation and monitoring of optical features in biological media. It encloses more than 20 years of research on Diffuse Optics and Single-photon Counting, with tailored electronics and optical components.
Designed to be a “plug-and-play” solution, all our efforts are devoted to making TD-NIRS broadly accessible to the world, while keeping the highest performances.
The device features high precision, fast laser calibration, negligible warm-up time and outstanding measurement stability.
PIONIRS software gives access to different levels of complexity, for either retrieving the raw photon Distribution of Time-of-flight (DTOF) or easily acquiring real-time human functional information like absolute hemoglobin concentration and tissue oxygen saturation.
PIONIRS accessories make the NIRSbox adaptable to a vast variety of applications, empowering paramount research around the world. Ranging from recording cerebral functional activation to long-term monitoring of brain and muscles hemodynamics.
Stability
< 1% variation over more than 14 hours of measurement.
Accuracy
The accuracy has been verified trought the MEDPHOT assesment protocol for DOS systems. Results are in line with state-of-art research grade system.
Reproducibility
High reproducibility in retriving optical parameters (μa, μs’) on tissue-mimiking phantoms ( < 2% CV over one month period).
