FlowCam Applications

For Sample Analysis That Demands Detail

Leading flow imaging analysis for applications where morphological characterization with high-quality images is a must – including oceanographic research, municipal water quality monitoring, biophysical analysis of API aggregates, cell and gene therapy, organoids, food and beverage analysis, materials characterization, and many other areas of research.

Ensure the safety and efficacy of your biologic drug products

For the most reliable results and a complete picture of safety and efficacy, USP <1788> recommends flow imaging microscopy as an orthogonal method to Light Obscuration for determining subvisible particulate content in parenteral drug formulations.

With its ability to produce higher-quality images than any other flow imaging microscopy instrument in the industry, FlowCam has become an indispensable tool in biotherapeutics research, formulation, and development for proteins, nano-drug delivery systems, organoids, and cell and gene therapy products.

 
 
GUIDE Flow Imaging Microscopy for Biopharma Formulations

Learn more about how flow imaging microscopy with FlowCam can characterize subvisible and submicron API aggregates and other particulates using morphology and artificial intelligence.

In flow imaging microscopy, particles move through a flow cell as images are captured in real-time by a high-speed camera and processed by image analysis software.

How FlowCam Works

Analyze Particle Count, Size, and Morphology with Flow Imaging Microscopy

FlowCam rapidly acquires digital images of particles to measure particle size and morphology. Up to 50,000 particles/minute may be imaged in real time and analyzed based on more than 40 morphological parameters. Optional artificial intelligence tools for biopharmaceutical applications allow automated particle identification.
