Detail
Product Principles
FlowCam is a flow imaging microscope that combines the benefits of digital imaging, flow cytometry, and microscopy into a single solution.
Brief Introduction
Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc., manufactures industry-leading particle analysis instrumentation based on digital imaging technology. Our flagship product, FlowCam?, is the first automated particle analysis instrument to use digital imaging for measuring size and shape of microscopic particles in a fluid medium. With applications in marine & freshwater research, biopharmaceutical research & development, municipal water, industrial manufacturing, and many other markets, Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies leads the way in imaging particle analysis.
FlowCam? is an imaging particle analysis system that uses flow microscopy to image and analyze subvisible particles with diameters ranging from 2 μm to 1 mm. Simultaneously determine particle shape, type, and size distribution of all detectable particles in your solution.
Product Characteristics
Highest-quality images to detect and identify submicron particle types to inform product development and monitor product quality.
Obtain size, morphology, and relative concentrations of particles in the 300 nm to 2 μm size range that are too small to be detected by traditional Flow Imaging Microscopy.
Early detection of API aggregation and other forms of sample degradation that are prone to generating larger subvisible and visible particles.
Integrated, industry-leading VisualSpreadsheet? software with the unique ability to image, classify, and characterize nanoparticles in real-time.
Quickly and consistently perform instrument setup and data collection with the easy-to-use interface and autofocus technology.
Application Fields
Applications include water/wastewater, life science, materials research, and industrial applications.
Obtain the highest-resolution images to analyze the shape, size, and count of subvisible particles and microorganisms.
Leading flow imaging analysis for oceanographic research, municipal water quality monitoring, biophysical analysis of API aggregates, cell and gene therapy, food and beverage analysis, materials characterization and many other areas of research.
