Offers the biopharma industry a single instrument to meet compliance standards and verify Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies announces the release of the FlowCam LO, the first and only light obscuration (LO) instrument with imaging capabilities. This easy-to-use instrument combines Flow Imaging Microscopy (FIM) with LO to deliver a powerful, all-in-one solution that meets compliance standards while allowing verification with high-resolution images. Regulatory agencies have long made clear that orthogonal particle characterization methods are necessary, especially for protein-based biologics since size and counts from LO alone are not adequate to ensure product quality and stability. The FlowCam LO fulfills this need, while providing a single USP-compliant software package for acquisition and analysis of multiple data sets and reporting via VisualSpreadsheet Software. Over the past ten years FIM has become one of the essential tools used in the biopharmaceutical industry due to its ability to accurately identify and classify subvisible particles in ...
