Yokogawa acquires Fluid Imaging Technologies
Summary
Fluid Imaging Technologies is a pioneer in the development of flow imaging instruments that combine the features of traditional microscopes, which are used for the observation of cells, and flow cytometers, which are used for high speed analysis of the characteristics of lymph and other types of blood cells suspended in a liquid medium. With functions that enable them to image, measure, analyse, and count particles in liquid samples, these instruments are used in fields such as marine research and municipal water management and industries ranging from biopharmaceuticals to chemicals, and oil & gas. These instruments are suitable for observing adherent cells that are cultivated on the surface of Petri dishes and other types of culture plates. By integrating this flow imaging technology with the technologies and know-how that Yokogawa has developed for its core control business targeting the oil, chemical, and water supply/wastewater treatment industries, we will be able to offer new value in diverse fields including healthcare, foods and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and environmental research. I strongly believe Fluid Imaging Technologies can greatly contribute in realising this aim, says Hiroshi Nakao, a Yokogawa vice president and head of the company’s Life Innovation Business Headquarters.
