Flowcam® Macro

FlowCam® Macro

The FlowCam® Macro – optimized for large particles

The FlowCam Macro enables the imaging and analysis of particles in the range of 300 µm to 5 mm.

The Macro reaches a flow rate of about 750 ml per minute with the help of an external peristaltic pump, is available with a monochrome or color camera and uses a 0.5X objective. A 2 mm as well as a 5 mm flow cell are included with each instrument.  

Like all other FlowCam models, the Macro uses the VisualSpreadsheet® software, enabling automated particle characterization. VisualSpreadsheet® allows for the creation of custom libraries, which the build-in pattern recognition software can use to automatically sort and group particles and provide you with concentrations and counts for all your specified particle types.

 

Key benefits of the FlowCam Macro

  • Automated particle characterization of large particles (300 µm to 5 mm)
  • High volume measurements (up to ~750 ml/min)
  • Sample can be captured for reuse after analysis
  • >40 morphological measurements for each particle
  • Superior image quality
  • Measure >10.000 particles per minute

 

Applications

  • Zooplankton identification and characterization
  • Food & beverage characterization
  • Sphericity measurement of manufactured beads/industrial microspheres
  • Fiber characterization
  • Particle analysis of polymers, crystals, powders and other chemicals
