Subvisible particle analysis for biopharmaceuticals

 
 

Micro-Flow Imaging: Image-based Particle Analysis for Biopharmaceuticals

MFI gives you more insight into the world of sub-visible particles—way more than just size and count. Because it's image-based, you can add quantifiable morphological parameters to your analysis. You'll be differentiating particle populations from each other and classifying them in no time. Plus, it's got an optic focal length that spans the entire fluidic path, so your sample data is robust and reproducible day in and day out. Add a Bot1 anytime to automate the whole process and kick your throughput up a notch. If you're looking for broader, deeper analysis of your biotherapeutic products, MFI is the particle analysis tool for you.

 

What MFI can do for you?


  • Precise and quantitative characterization of particle size, concentration and morphology
  • Differentiate particle populations within your sample
  • Measure translucent protein aggregates
  • Automate runs for up to 96 samples
  • Get quantitative data in less than 10 minutes per sample
