FlowCAM® Particle Imaging and Analysis Instrumentation Generates Fan Following

Yarmouth, ME, USA: Laboratory and ocean research instrumentation manufacturer Fluid Imaging Technologies, Yarmouth, Maine (www.FluidImaging.com) recently hosted a 10th anniversary gala celebrating the company’s first decade in operation since introducing the FlowCAM® particle imaging and analysis system, which automatically takes high-resolution, digital images of individual particles and cells in a fluid, measures dozens of parameters in real time and saves the images and data for analysis. It replaces manual, labor-intensive sampling and microscopy with a far faster approach that yields highly accurate, actionable data. With a top shelf customer list that includes the U.S. EPA, U.S. Naval Research Labs, Welch’s Foods, Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA), ICO Polymers and Fortune 200 companies, Fluid Imaging has recorded 10 consecutive years of increasing

revenues, introduced multiple FlowCAM models and eclipsed 100 FlowCAM unit sales in 2008 while building an impressive backlog of orders set to nearly double total unit sales by 2010. En route to these milestones, the company was named the New England Region Exporter of the Year by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) for 2007 for its success in developing overseas markets and CEO Kent Peterson was named the 2008 Business Leader of the Year by Mainebiz, honoring Peterson as “the leader who stands head and shoulders above his or her peers” in recognition of his global strategy.”10 years ago, the power of imaging wasn’t widely understood among particle

analysis professionals but today, it would be unthinkable to consider investing in particle or cell

analysis instrumentation without considering imaging and the FlowCAM,” says Peterson, who, along with FlowCAM inventor Chris Sieracki, has led the company since its founding. “We’re proud of our team and our achievements to this point and are looking firmly ahead to the next ten years.”
