Primary Features of the Particle Insight Instrument

  • Requires   30 ml of liquid containing the sample in suspension

  • A 10,000-particle run takes between 15 and 60 seconds, depending on camera resolution, particle density, number of active size/shape measures, and real-time image-saving options

  • Fully controllable from software, including drain and fill cycles

  • High resolution camera for accuracy – pixel dimensions up to 2600 x 1940

  • Real time analysis of images as they come from the camera

  • Real time data displays during a run

  • Powerful image analysis features including adaptive threshold and focus discrimination

  • Six particle shape models

  • 30 different size, shape and darkness measures

  • Size range:

    • Diameter measures: 2 to 400 microns
    • Width measures: 5 to 100 microns
    • Length measures: 5 to 1000 microns
  • Option to save all run images as disk files

  • Sieve simulation mode (see Tutorials)

  • Option to save data on all particles during a run, for post-process filtering and analysis

  • Commonly-used distribution statistics, including mean, std. deviation, mode, skew and percentiles

  • Various ways of presenting and saving data histograms and statistics

  • Safety features to prevent accidental overwriting of data files

  • Implements most of the 21-CFR-11 data security standard
