Malvern Instruments has launched a new generation image analysis system for the fully automated characterization of particle shape and size. Key amongst the features of the Sysmex FPIA-3000 is its ability to measure across a wide particle size range. The standard instrument configuration allows the characterization of particles from 1.5 to 160 µm. High and low magnification options cover the ranges 0.8 to 80 µm and 12 to 300 µm respectively. Sample volumes as low as 0.5 ml can be used throughout and every single particle image is now stored for future reference and analysis.
The Sysmex FPIA-3000 operates using the same proven principles as its predecessor, measuring particles suspended in aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media. Using a CCD camera, the system produces images of each suspended particle. Samples pass through a sheath flow cell that transforms the particle suspension into a narrow, flat flow, ensuring that the largest area of the particle is oriented towards the camera and that all particles are in focus. Measurement is complete in just two and a half minutes.
