2021 was a year that brought many changes to all of us. Among the most significant for the FlowCam team was the return to traveling for demonstrations, installations, training & services, and in-person conferences. Given the success of our remote training options, we continue to offer virtual training via FlowCam University and individual virtual demonstrations and training.
We welcomed new team members, including a new CEO and senior leadership. We are excited to be expanding our operations in Maine and are looking to grow our FlowCam team. Come work with us, we are hiring!
We continue to innovate with new product releases. FlowCam LO is the first instrument to combine light obscuration with flow imaging microscopy. On the software side, we have incorporated your feedback into several updates and enhancements of VisualSpreadsheet 5.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to working with you in 2022. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

Webinar on Demand - The Role of Orthogonal Techniques in the Detection of Protein Aggregation During Biopharmaceutical Development
In this webinar, Danny Chou, Ph.D. discusses the opportunities and challenges in combining LO, FIM, and other orthogonal techniques for protein aggregate and particle characterization in biotherapeutic development and quality control.
A Study by Japan's National Institute of Health Sciences
In their recent publication, Quantitative Evaluation of Insoluble Particulate Matters in Therapeutic Protein Injections Using Light Obscuration and Flow Imaging Methods, Shibata et. al. compare the ability of Light Obscuration and Flow Imaging to detect and accurately characterize subvisible particles in injectable drugs.
FlowCam for the Characterization of Abrasive Compounds
Superabrasives, such as micronized diamonds and cubic boron nitride (CBN), are used extensively in applications for cutting, grinding, and drilling hard materials. The effectiveness of a particular superabrasive material in a given application is largely determined by both particle size and particle shape. (Update link when published)

We continue to innovate and improve upon VisualSpreadsheet with a new release of version 5.7. Updates cover several categories including improvements to context file functions, enhancements to classification templates, and improvements to the user interface and calibration process.
