Description
Discover a high-throughput, automated alternative to manual microscopy.
FlowCam offers a cost-effective and rapid solution to monitor source water, oceans, reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and water treatment processes for drinking water, wastewater, and recreational activities.
Municipal water utilities monitor Cyanobacteria and other algae to prevent hazardous algal blooms (HABs), taste and odor events, as well as filter clogging organisms.
FlowCam 8000 models are highly versatile for a wide range of applications, while FlowCam Cyano functions like a flow cytometer by using laser excitation to image and identify Cyanobacteria and differentiate them from algae and other particles in aquatic samples.
