FlowCAM® : A Digital Imaging Particle Analyzer for Measurement and Characterization of Particulate Matter
 
Most particle analyzers only give you a “count” of particles and a single measurement, “diameter”. Usually referred to as “Equivalent Spherical Diameter”, or ESD, this measurement is based upon measuring something proportional to volume, and then deriving “diameter” by assuming that volume is contained in a spherical shape. While this may be useful for calculating a “particle size distribution”, it certainly does not tell the whole story, as shown in Figure 1(첨부화일 참조).
FlowCAM® is an imaging-based particle analyzer that takes a digital image of each particle, and records up to 26 different measurements (size, shape and spectral) for each particle simultaneously. Using the included VisualSpreadsheet© software, the particles can then be sorted and filtered based upon these measurements just as one would do in a spreadsheet, except that the results are displayed visually in the form of images alongside the tabular results. Powerful statistical pattern recognition algorithms can be employed to automatically separate different particle types found in a heterogeneous sample.
FlowCAM® combines the speed of automated particle analysis systems with the ability to distinguish individual particles found in microscopy. Wherever you used to use a microscope, you can now use FlowCAM to acquire, measure and classify up to 50,000 particles/minute, giving you greatly increased statistical confidence in your data. FlowCAM will complement other quantitative particle analysis data with image-based data that lets you actually see the results for visual verification and interpretation.
As the first to market with this technology, and with over 12 years of continued leadership, Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc. is the resource to rely on for imaging particle analysis technology. We invite you to take us up on a free FlowCAM sample evaluation: we will run a sample of your material through the instrument and interactively show you the results via the web. You will see the actual images of your sample particles, and be able to see how VisualSpreadsheet© can sort, filter and classify each particle. Many of our prospects have learned something new about their process(es) just from this simple free analysis. We are convinced that once you see the results with your own samples, you will want a FlowCAM in your lab!
