Use of novel flow imaging particle analysis in biopharmaceutical formulation (FlowCam®)

Flow imaging particle analysis has shown great promise for analysis of sub-visible particulates in parenteral, especially for
protein aggregates. The ability to detect transparent particles, along with the ability to differentiate them based upon shape
parameters, yields significantly more detailed and accurate information than can be acquired using common laser diffraction
and light obscuration techniques. The addition of color information, along with sophisticated statistical pattern recognition
algorithms can also enable these systems to differentiate and quantify silicon oil droplets and air bubbles found in parenteral.
This presentation will present the techniques used to accomplish this.
