The QMR06 Body Composition Analyzer (Mouse Configuration) is the ConductScience configuration of the QMR06-060H-PRO, a permanent-magnet low-field quantitative magnetic resonance system for mouse metabolic phenotyping. It is designed for awake mouse studies from 10-100 g where researchers need repeated, non-destructive measurements of body composition across the same animals.
Best-fit applications
- Obesity, diabetes, nutrition, aging, cardiovascular, and toxicology studies
- Longitudinal drug-efficacy studies tracking fat and lean mass in the same animals
- Mouse phenotyping workflows that need fast body-composition readouts without endpoint sampling
- Ex vivo tissue studies from 0.1-6 g when the workflow is configured for tissue samples

- Sample range: mice 10-100 g with 60 mm probe configuration
- Measurement speed: body-composition analysis within 80 seconds
- Measured outputs: fat content, lean/muscle mass, and free water content
- Repeatability: body fat content standard deviation <= 0.3% across repeated mouse measurements
- Magnet: permanent magnet, 0.15 +/- 0.015 T
- Magnet frequency: 6.387 +/- 0.638 MHz; detected nucleus: 1H
- Field homogeneity: <= 300 ppm over a 60 mm diameter x 140 mm high cylinder

- Temperature control accuracy: <= 0.01 C
- Main unit footprint: 600 x 650 x 1050 mm; approximate source weight: 400 kg
Included system elements to confirm in quote
The source configuration includes the magnet unit, RF unit, temperature-control unit, spectrometer unit, 60 mm probe coil, QMR body-composition analysis software, NMR analysis software, calibration sample, mouse holder/cage, computer peripherals, and service tooling. ConductScience confirms the final included components and support scope before issuing a formal quote.
Facility and workflow notes
The source configuration uses a permanent magnet and does not require cryogens or a shielded room. Standard source operating conditions are 220 V, 50/60 Hz, 1 kW rated power, 22-28 C room temperature, and 30-90% non-condensing humidity. ConductScience confirms power, facility, shipping, training, and warranty details before quote.
Choose the right QMR body-composition configuration
Mouse and rat body-composition analyzers are consolidated as QMR06 configuration choices. Compare QMR06 mouse configuration (QMR06-060H-PRO; Mice 10-100 g; tissues 0.1-6 g; best fit: Mouse metabolic phenotyping and repeated fat/lean/free-water measurement) is the current configuration; QMR06 rat / larger small-animal configuration (QMR06-090H-PRO; Small animals 10-800 g; tissues 0.1-6 g; best fit: Rat and larger small-animal metabolic phenotyping); QMR12 imaging-capable option (QMR12-060H-I; Small animals 15-150 g; tissues 0.1-6 g; best fit: Body-composition quantification plus qualitative fat-distribution imaging). Compare all small animal body-composition configurations. ConductScience keeps the QMR12 imaging-capable analyzer as a separate advanced option and confirms included accessories, installation requirements, and support scope before quote.
How It Works
QMR uses low-field magnetic resonance to measure hydrogen-proton signals from fat, lean tissue, and water-rich compartments. The QMR06-060H-PRO source configuration uses a 0.15 +/- 0.015 T permanent magnet and a 60 mm probe configuration for mouse studies from 10-100 g.
The system separates body-composition signals by their relaxation behavior, allowing repeated non-destructive measurements in awake animals. This supports longitudinal metabolic phenotyping without endpoint tissue collection for every time point.

| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary workflow | Fast mouse body-composition quantification | Imaging-first anatomical workflows | Short handling time for longitudinal metabolic studies |
| Animal state | Awake monitoring without anesthesia or euthanasia | Anesthesia or endpoint sampling in some alternatives | Reduces anesthesia-related metabolic confounds |
| Facility burden | Permanent magnet; no cryogens or shielded room per source configuration | Higher-field imaging systems may require more facility support | Simpler installation path when source conditions are met |
Use this mouse QMR configuration when repeated fat/lean body-composition measurement is the primary requirement.
Practical Tips
Confirm expected mouse weight range before quote.
Why: The source-backed QMR06-060H-PRO configuration is for mice from 10-100 g.
Specify whether fat, lean/muscle, and free-water outputs are all required.
Why: The mouse source spec supports all three, but quote documents should state required outputs explicitly.
Confirm room temperature, humidity, power, and freight access.
Why: The source spec includes defined operating conditions and an approximately 400 kg system weight.
