FlowCAM
Photograph every particle in the flow
The technology
FlowCAM, from Fluid Imaging, images particles as they flow past a high-speed camera — tens of thousands a minute — and measures the size, shape and count of each one from its actual picture, not just a light scatter. With image-based classification it can tell particle types apart, which is why it became a standard for identifying and counting algae and phytoplankton, and for any suspension where morphology matters.
Where it’s used
- Algae and phytoplankton detection and classification
- Water quality, harmful algal blooms and aquaculture
- Subvisible particles in protein, cell and gene therapies (USP <1788>)
- Any particle analysis in suspension where shape and count matter
