Aquatic

FlowCam supports your aquatic monitoring and research applications

Quantitate biovolume, cell counts, and calculate taxonomic abundance with Flow Imaging Microscopy. Use automation combined with high-resolution images in FlowCam to study and analyze organisms and microscopic particles in aquatic environments.

Use FlowCam to assess water quality, research plankton, monitor aquaculture and algae applications, or discover other aquatic particle applications including wastewater analysis, paleolimnology, microplastic studies, and invasive species detection.

Water Quality Monitoring

Predict harmful algal blooms while quickly and efficiently detecting and quantifying populations of taste and odor producers, filter-fouling diatoms, and potentially toxic Cyanobacteria.

Microalgae Cultivation

Track algae culture growth in production ponds and bioreactors by assessing cell health, detecting grazers, and watching for signs of culture contamination or culture crash.
