APRIL 4, 2008--Particle imaging and analysis instrumentation manufacturer Fluid Imaging Technologies (Yarmouth, ME, USA; www.fluidimaging.com) has been named the New England Region Exporter of the Year by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA). The company's impressive growth during 2007, which triggered a 100% increase in staff and prompted a third move to a larger corporate headquarters, and its success in developing overseas markets for the FlowCAM particle imaging and analysis technology were among the key reasons for earning the award, according to Maine SBA district director Maurice Dubé.

The FlowCAM automatically takes high-resolution, digital images of hundreds of particles and cells in seconds in real time and saves them in a library for review, analysis, and identification while simultaneously measuring each particle and cell using dozens of different parameters.
