What particle size range can FlowCam Macro analyze?
FlowCam Macro is designed for visible particles in the 150 μm to 5 mm range, making it ideal for large particle applications, including zooplankton research, food and beverage ingredient monitoring, advanced materials testing, and visible particulate matter analysis in biopharmaceutical development.
If your research requires subvisible particle analysis, explore our other FlowCam instruments, such as FlowCam 8000, FlowCam Cyano, and FlowCam LO.
Can FlowCam Macro handle continuous flow or large sample volumes?
Yes. FlowCam Macro supports both flow-through and recirculating modes, and is built to run large sample volumes quickly and without interruption. With rapid access to reliable morphological data wherever you’re running samples, you can quickly share insights with other teams and accelerate decision-making.
Can I run live zooplankton samples at sea?
FlowCam Macro supports both live and preserved samples and is rugged enough for use aboard research vessels.
What training is required to operate FlowCam Macro?
FlowCam Macro is designed to be easy to use and to integrate into pre-existing workflows. We also offer a variety of training and support opportunities for new users, both during initial installation and as part of ongoing support, including:
