Ultrafine Bubble Classification Software Module
Detection, analysis and classification of individual ultrafine bubbles
The CLASSIZER™ The Bubble Classification Module is specifically designed to enable the detection, analysis, and classification of individual ultrafine bubbles within complex samples. By identifying the distinctive optical signals generated by objects with refractive index lower than the one of the liquid where are dispersed, the software can separate them from other detected particle populations.
This capability supports two different analytical workflows
- Ultrafine bubble signal rejection, when bubbles may interfere with particle analysis.
- Advanced bubble analysis, when bubbles are the target of the measurement.
- Separate ultrafine bubbles from particle populations.
Ultrafine bubbles present in a sample can generate signals that may be mistaken for particles or affect the interpretation of measurement results.
The Classizer™ Bubble Classification Module identifies ultrafine bubble populations based on their distinctive optical properties and separates their signals from those of other particles in the sample.
Users can then decide whether to exclude the detected ultrafine bubbles from particle analysis or investigate them as a separate population.
Ultrafine bubble signal rejection.
When ultrafine bubbles are not relevant to the measurement, their signals can be identified and rejected.
This helps users:
- distinguish ultrafine bubbles from particle populations;
- reduce bubble-related interference;
- avoid counting ultrafine bubbles as particles;
- improve the interpretation of particle analysis results;
- obtain more reliable information from complex samples.
Advanced ultrafine bubble analysis
When ultrafine bubbles are the subject of the investigation, the module provides dedicated tools for their detection, classification and analysis at the single-bubble level.
The software makes it possible to:
- detect individual ultrafine bubbles;
- identify distinct ultrafine bubble populations;
- analyse their optical characteristics;
- evaluate the distribution of ultrafine bubbles within the sample;
- compare ultrafine bubble populations across different samples or formulations;
- monitor changes in ultrafine bubble behaviour over time.
Two workflows, one software module
Whether ultrafine bubbles represent an unwanted interference or the actual target of the analysis, the CLASSIZER™ Bubble Classification Module provides the flexibility to manage their signals effectively.

Applications
The CLASSIZER™ Bubble Classification Module can support research, development and quality-control activities involving:
- ultrafine bubble formulations;
- contrast-agent research.
- gas-containing dispersions.

Expand your CLASSIZER™ software capabilities
The Bubble Classification Module expands the capabilities of the CLASSIZER™ Software Platform, allowing users to manage ultrafine bubble signals according to the objective of each measurement.
Ultrafine bubbles can be treated either as an interfering population to be rejected or as a target population to be analysed in detail.
