Particle Analysis with Micro-Flow Imaging™ (MFI)

Micro-Flow Imaging™  (MFI) integrates digital microscopy, micro-fluidics and image processing into a single instrument for automatic analysis of particles or cells suspended in liquids.

MFI operates by capturing images from the sample as it passes through the flow cell’s sensing zone. Every particle in each image is analyzed to create a database of particle count, size, transparency and morphology (or shape).  For immediate visual verification, images are displayed on the system monitor in real-time. MFI can also operate in a Time-Resolved Mode to monitor dynamic processes.

Morphology-based software filters can be created and applied to the particle database to analyze specific particle types and to isolate sub-populations.

Benefits of MFI for Particle Analysis in Liquids

• Imaging platform delivers particle morphology as well as size and concentration
• Immediate visual feedback
• Superior sensitivity for near-transparent particles
• Software filters to isolate specific particle types
• Insensitive to particle material
• No re-calibration required
• Measures low and high concentration samples
• Measures particle sizes from 0.75 to 400µm
• Multiple sample introduction methods
• Simple, fast and easy to use
