Measuring subvisible particles and aggregates using FlowCam LO

17 Mar 2022

In this application note, Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies uses the FlowCam LO to directly compare the particle size distributions of aqueous samples containing Polystyrene Latex calibration beads, ETFE particles, and IgG aggregates obtained from both LO and FIM analyses.

FlowCam LO

Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc

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.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.

Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
