FlowCam Cyano - Water Quality Analyzer for Cyanobacteria Identification
FlowCam Cyano provides an innovative solution for freshwater research and monitoring of drinking water reservoirs and recreational water bodies. A high-throughput, automated alternative to manual microscopy, FlowCam Cyano automatically differentiates between fluorescence-emitting Cyanobacteria and other algae while enabling the early detection of harmful algal blooms.
Fluorescence-based flow imaging microscopy with 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. Its optical configuration uses a red laser (633 nm) to detect the unique fluorescence emissions from aquatic organisms. Automate your aquatic research methods and be proactive in your water treatment options with the FlowCam Cyano water quality analyzer.
