Precision Pump Solution in Flow Cytometry
How IMI enables flow cytometry breakthrough into food analysis with precision pump solutions.

Challenges with High Precision Sample Control and Continuous Flow?
A leading life science company set out to develop a flow cytometer for food analysis, venturing into a domain they had never explored before. The challenge? Designing a fluidic circuit capable of precisely introducing samples into a continuously flowing sheath fluid—a delicate balance of control and consistency critical to the instrument’s performance.
IMI’s Solution: Precision Engineering Meets Application Insight
IMI was engaged from the earliest stages of development, collaborating closely with the customer to understand the unique demands of their application. Leveraging IMI's expertise, IMI modified V6 syringe pump to meet the specific requirements of the cytometer.
Key enhancements included:
Supporting a wide range of flow rates with advanced electronic control system
Dynamic flow switching—from rapid delivery to ultra-slow dispensing below 1μl/s.
Extended pump life, engineered for millions of cycles to ensure long-term reliability.
This customized solution not only met the technical specifications but also empowered the customer to confidently enter a new market segment with a robust, high-performance instrument.
