Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies is the industry leader in flow imaging microscopy solutions for particle analysis of biologic drug products, oceanographic research, municipal water quality monitoring, and materials characterization. Our flagship instrument, FlowCam, was originally developed in the mid-1990s at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences for studying plankton in ocean water. Commercialized by Fluid Imaging Technologies, FlowCam is designed to combine the benefits of digital imaging, flow cytometry, and microscopy into a single solution. Today we are part of the Life Innovation Business of Yokogawa and headquartered near Portland, Maine. We focus on bringing clarity and focus to the study of subvisible particles in the life sciences across many areas of research. We are committed to developing innovative hardware and software to monitor Earth’s water bodies and drinking water supply for hazardous algae, to help make vaccines and injectable medicines safer, and to improve product quality. Our team of engineers, application scientists, manufacturing technicians, marketers, and sales application specialists work together to ensure that we are producing quality, cutting-edge technology for our customers. FlowCam instruments have been deployed in over 50 countries, supporting research, development, and environmental monitoring in the life sciences.
Through its exceptional image quality and the widest size range available, FlowCam® 8000 represents state-of-the-art particle imaging technology. Analyze thousands of particles in less than a minute and comprehensively characterize the size, count, morphology, and identity of subvisible and visible particulates in their native solvent.
FlowCam® Cyano provides an innovative solution for freshwater research and monitoring of drinking water reservoirs and recreational water bodies. A high-throughput, automated alternative to manual microscopy, FlowCam Cyano automatically differentiates between fluorescence-emitting Cyanobacteria and other algae while enabling the early detection of harmful algal blooms.
Experience rapid high-resolution imaging, data acquisition, and analysis of microparticles. FlowCam® 5000 flow imaging instrument is an economical, high-value solution for monitoring particles in the 3 μm to 300 μm size range for research, educational, and industrial applications.
The ALH for FlowCam™ Automated Liquid Handling system integrates with FlowCam 8000 series instruments, FlowCam LO, and FlowCam Cyano to automate sample handling and FlowCam operation. ALH for FlowCam minimizes the risk of human error and improves measurement repeatability, ensures safer lab operation, and increases productivity.
Extend your particle imaging capabilities from 300 μm to 5 mm with FlowCam® Macro for aquatic and environmental research and materials characterization. Obtain detailed morphological data along with accurate counting and sizing measurements to enable differentiation of diverse zooplankton species and particle types.
FlowCam® Nano provides dynamic image analysis of submicron particles from 300 nm to 2 µm, bridging the gap between traditional flow imaging microscopy and other particle analysis techniques. Use FlowCam Nano for early detection of aggregates and contaminant monitoring for protein formulations, nano-drug delivery systems, characterization of bacteria, bioprocess monitoring, and materials characterization.
Innovative particle characterization with FlowCam® LO combines flow imaging microscopy (FIM) and light obscuration (LO) into a single analytical solution. Beyond the compendial light obscuration method to fulfill USP <787> and <788> requirements, flow imaging microscopy provides an orthogonal method for quality control of subvisible particulate matter.
