New Particle Imaging and Analysis System

The new FlowCam Macro particle imaging and analysis system from Fluid Imaging Technologies features a patented imaging technology optimized to detect and produce sharp digital images of particles and microorganisms measuring from 250µm to 5 mm in size.

Joining FlowCam models optimized for particles ranging from 2µm to 800µm in size, the FlowCam Macro automatically detects thousands of individual particles and microorganisms in a sample in seconds, takes a high-resolution, digital image of each one detected, and measures them in real-time based on their actual size and shape using more than 30 different basic and advanced, morphological parameters.

Developed to complement dynamic imaging, laser diffraction, microscopy, and other lab instruments that provide data on particles in subvisible sizes, the new FlowCam Macro allows analytical scientists, biochemists, pharmaceutical engineers, lab managers, and others to detect and document the presence of larger particles to get a more complete view and understanding of their products. The FlowCam Macro technology is proven in characterizing long and curled fibers, polymers, crystals, powders, microorganisms, and a variety of food, beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical products.
