Yarmouth, ME: A new technology upgrade service from particle imagingand analysis instrumentation manufacturer Fluid Imaging Technologies,Yarmouth, Maine (www.fluidimaging.com), enables FlowCAM® particleimaging and analysis system users to install many of the company’slatest advances on their existing models. Offering a menu of availableupgrades developed during the more than 10 years since the FlowCAM’sintroduction, the service encompasses advances for superior detection,imaging, operation and analysis. Highlighting the advances are theFront-Fill IlluminationTM capability, which features bidirectionalfront and back lighting to illuminate the surfaces of opaque particlesand reveal their true colors and textures, and the company’s automatedsyringe pump, which achieves sample volume efficiencies up to 90%while enabling operators to load the sample, press start and walkaway. The latest version of the company’s proprietary particle imageanalysis software, VisualSpreadsheet© V2.4, which enables operators toapply filter parameters in real-time during data acquisition while asample is running rather than waiting until the sample has beenprocessed, is also among the optional upgrades available.
To participate, FlowCAM users may contact the company with their modelnumbers. A technical representative will provide a comparison of themodel’s hardware and software specifications to the range of availableupgrades along with an assessment to determine the advances that aremost likely to significantly enhance performance based on theapplication.
