The Flowcam particle imaging and analysis system from Fluid Imaging Technologies integrates flow control software with advanced syringe pumps to replace manual sample handling and flow control setup.
Flowcam offers an automated process that enables the operator to load the sample, press start and walk away while the sample runs unattended.
Achieving sample volume efficiencies up to 90 per cent, the Flowcam delivers control over the flow rate and throughput volume to ensure virtually the entire sample is properly presented to the flow cell for accuracy in the real-time detection, imaging, counting and measurement of particles and micro-organisms.
Developed for laboratory managers, QA/QC officers, research scientists and others involved in the production and testing of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and other high-value products, the Flowcam effectively processes small, sparse or otherwise limited samples in volumes as minute as 50ul.
The Flowcam can analyse parenterals and other biopharmaceuticals as well as with precious metals, explosive powders and other products, where detecting every particle or cell present is paramount and extra samples are not available for repeat analysis.
For compliance with FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11, the Flowcam automatically assigns a date/time stamp to all images and measurements and creates an audit trail for future review and analysis.
