  • Flow Imaging Microscopy - FlowCam 8000
  • Analysis results from the FlowCam 8000 FIM analyser

FlowCam 8000 Series

Through its exceptional image quality and the widest size range available, FlowCam 8000 represents state-of-the-art particle imaging technology.

Analyse thousands of particles in less than a minute and comprehensively characterise the size, count, morphology, and identity of subvisible and visible particulates in their native solvent.

  • Overview

    Flow Imaging Microscopy (FIM) combines the benefits of digital imaging, flow cytometry, and microscopy into a single solution.

    Beyond traditional particle sizing and counting, image-based analysis allows for comprehensive characterization of subvisible API aggregates and contaminants in biopharmaceuticals, mammalian cells, microplankton, emulsions, and advanced materials.

  • Technical Specs

  • Good service, very helpful

    We use Meritics for the PM service and installation of all our FlowCams . Megan has been coming to our site for a number of years. She is very efficient in her work, but most of all Megan is very helpful. We have had issues with one of instruments after the install and Megan did her utmost to try and solve it while on site, even though it wasn’t solved Megan has been in contact with the supplier of the instrument to try and solve this problem for us.

  • Superb and prompt service

    I have used this company through the laboratory I work for frequently. We specialise in soil analysis, and Meritics were chosen as they have extensive knowledge of the instruments we use. We have several laser particle diffraction analysers with a service contract, and service is always very prompt and meticulous….

  • Good experience over two years

    Meritics have covered the annual servicing of our Multisizer 4e instrument since we purchased it from them just over two years ago. The application scientist who performed the servicing was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful, happily answering a barrage of questions about how best to use and maintain the instrument. All my interactions with Meritics staff have been positive. I would happily recommend them.

  • Highly recommend Meritics for equipment purchases and aftercare services

    After owning one of our instruments for over 8 Years which was purchased from Meritics, it suffered its first breakdown. Upon contacting Meritics, I was instantly put through to an engineer who was very helpful. Upon inspection of the manual, it was decided that it would be more cost effective to have a Meritics engineer visit. The Meritics staff were very communicative and kept me up to date.

  • Excellent Service

    Lovely, friendly and extremely helpful. David and his team are always on call with advise and are very easy to work with and are always happy to help.

  • Professional, Customer-oriented, fast service

    We had issues with one of the aperture tubes provided by Meritics on a Friday afternoon, while very pressed for a review deadline. Meritics handled our inquiries very fast and professionally and helped us out by shipping us their spare tube to use in the mean time free of charge, while we waited for our new tube to arrive. Communication was very pleasant.
