Immobilization of two types of molecules is also possible. - Compatible with 96/384 well plates. Modular design allows for high-throughput capabilities.
Flow Imaging Particle Image Analysis System - FlowCam Series
A flow imaging microscope capable of particle size distribution and particle image analysis in solution. It is used for detecting impurities in biopharmaceuticals.

The FlowCam series is a particle image analysis system that combines digital imaging technology with optical microscopy technology. It captures high-speed images of microparticles in solution through an optical microscope and performs automatic analysis in real-time. It can simultaneously obtain information on particle size distribution and particle images. In addition to particle size and concentration, the ability to evaluate particle shape through image analysis allows for detailed analysis of samples that cannot be understood through simple particle size distribution.
Leosense Co. Fully Automatic Ultra-Micro Sample Viscometer
High-precision viscosity measurement with a minimum of 10μL of micro-sample, up to 100,000 cp. Fully automated system compatible with 96-well plates. Also supports shear rate scanning.

The ultra-micro sample viscometer manufactured by Leosense employs an innovative measurement system that utilizes Microfluidics and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. When a sample is flowed through a rectangular microchannel (depth: 20–100 μm), multiple sensors arranged within the channel measure the pressure. When the measurements and positions of each sensor are graphed, they form a straight line. It is generally known that the slope of this line is proportional to viscosity, and viscosity is calculated from that slope.
