Fluid Imaging Technologies has announced that it will be presenting live demonstrations of its parenteral imaging and analysis system at AAPS.
Flowcam detects and images protein aggregates, silicone oil droplets, air bubbles and foreign particulates suspended in parenteral infusions or solutions for injection and differentiates each particle from the other automatically.
Revealing sub-visible, transparent and translucent particles that often escape detection from outdated technologies, the Flowcam system can accurately count each particle detected to aid compliance with USP method 788 and support the safety of each product or batch while also characterising each particle based on its actual size, shape, circularity and dozens of other parameters.
The automated Flowcam system acquires, measures and filters up to 10,000 high-resolution, digital images per minute in real time, providing a more precise count and a wider range of actionable data than light obscuration and laser diffraction techniques, said Fluid Imaging.
Suitable for lab managers, formulation chemists, QA/QC managers, process engineers and those responsible for the quality of therapeutic protein formulations, vaccines and other parenteral products, Flowcam features an automated flow control system with software that achieves sample volume efficiencies up to 90 per cent to permit the effective processing of samples in volumes as low as 50ul.
