Fluid Imaging Technologies has introduced a technology upgrade service, enabling Flowcam particle imaging and analysis system users to install the company's latest advances on their existing models.
The service offers a menu of available upgrades and encompasses advances for better detection, imaging, operation and analysis.
The advances include the Front-Fill Illumination capability, which features bidirectional front and back lighting to illuminate the surfaces of opaque particles and reveal their true colours and textures.
Another advance is Fluid Imaging Technologies' automated syringe pump, which achieves sample volume efficiencies up to 90 per cent while enabling operators to load the sample, press start and walk away.
Among the optional upgrades available is the company's Visualspreadsheet v2.4 particle image analysis software, which enables operators to apply filter parameters in real time during data acquisition while a sample is running, rather than waiting until the sample has been processed.
To participate, Flowcam users may contact the company with their model numbers.
A technical representative will provide a comparison of the model's hardware and software specification to the range of available upgrades along with an assessment to determine the advances most likely to enhance performance based on the application.
