Malvern Sysmex Flow Particle Image Analyzer

5 Malvern Sysmex Flow Particle Image Analyzer FPIA-2100 automated particle shape and size analyzer 

Particles are sampled from a dilute suspension and held in an agitated chamber to ensure it is kept in suspension. The particles are introduced into a sheath flow through a jet nozzle. The sheath flow transforms the suspension into a flat, narrow stream through hydrodynamic focusing. The 

Once the measurement is complete, particle size and distribution data are displayed in graphical and tabular form. A typical result report includes three plots particle size distribution, circularity distribution, and a scattergram of particle size versus circularity. Individual particle images are captured and displayed and these can be classified by the operator into various categories. The instrument is covered by US patent No 5,721,433.
