FlowCam LO - Light Obscuration and Image Analyser

Stockcode:

Flow Imaging Microscopy with Light Obscuration

For the first time ever, you can obtain Light Obscuration data to meet USP regulatory guidelines, and also verify your data with real images, all with a single instrument, and a single sample run. Our FlowCam LO instrument combines our patented flow imaging microscopy technology with an embedded light obscuration particle counter to provide you with the necessary data for USP regulations and validation with images.

In FlowCam LO, a single sample passes continuously through two flow cells. The first, uses FlowCam technology to capture digital images and the second, uses the light obscuration method to collect data for USP regulations.

While analysis with light obscuration is standard, the FDA has long made clear that size data alone, collected with light obscuration, is not adequate to ensure safe and effective drugs, and that it’s necessary to provide validation and imaging data using orthogonal methods. FlowCam LO has the orthogonal method built in.

FlowCam LO provides:
- USP <787/788> compliance data with light obscuration
- Flow imaging microscopy validation of particle types with images
- Identification of additional particles missed by light obscuration alone
- Greater understanding of drug product formulation

Meritics Ltd

Great company to work with. Friendly and efficient service with specialist knowledge delivered to the end user. I can rely on them to resolve issues with the instrument in a timely manner.

Meritics Ltd

We were very satisfied with the Multisizer installation work you did for us last week. The installation was completed over a 2 day span, and somehow she managed to do all of it while giving us a little training at the same time.You blew my mind a bit with all your knowledge and helpful tips. We rarely get a someone in like that, you have probably saved us months of work trying to figure things out for ourselves. Absolute joy, credit to your company.
