FlowCam 8000 Particle Size and Shape Analyzer
Manufacturer: Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc.
Description
Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies' FlowCam 8000 is an analytical instrument that characterizes particles suspended in liquids. Its operating principle is based on flow imaging microscopy, where particles are hydrodynamically focused and passed through a flow cell. A digital camera captures high-resolution images of each particle in real time. This approach enables the simultaneous collection of data on particle size and a variety of shape parameters, such as circularity, elongation, and symmetry. The system is configured to analyze particles ranging from 2 micrometers to 1 millimeter in size. Applications for this technology are found in pharmaceutical quality control, environmental science for plankton analysis, and industrial manufacturing, where a detailed understanding of particle morphology and population distributions is required. The instrument provides rapid analysis with minimal sample preparation.
