Did you know that every version of FlowCam’s VisualSpreadsheet software comes equipped with a powerful feature called File Processing Mode? This tool is indispensable for method development, allowing you to reprocess your sample using different capture settings until you find the optimal configuration.
Finding the right capture settings is critical for accurate measurement of concentration, sizing, and other parameters. With File Processing Mode, you can revisit and refine your settings without needing to rerun your sample, saving time and preserving valuable sample material.
This feature is especially helpful when:
- Optimizing FlowCam for a new sample type
- Working with a limited sample volume
- Updating or improving your sampling and analysis SOP
Our technical note, "Using File Processing Mode for FlowCam Method Development", provides a step-by-step guide to make the most of this feature. The process includes:
- Saving Raw Image Data – Preserve the raw camera images from your sample run
- Evaluating Particle Images – Assess image quality and identify artifacts
- Adjusting Capture Settings – Refine settings to improve image clarity and accuracy
- Re-Analyzing Raw Images – Apply the new settings to reprocess your data
The technical note also features real-world examples of common image artifacts and offers specific recommendations for addressing them. Whether you’re working with a new application or simply fine-tuning your system, File Processing Mode ensures efficient method development.
