FlowCam Cyano, Flow Imaging Microscopy

SKU: FlowCam Cyano
Manufacturer: Yokogawa
Pack Size: 1

FlowCam Cyano is a water quality analyzer that uses fluorescence-based flow imaging microscopy to capture high-resolution images of phytoplankton and automatically detect cyanobacteria.

Analyze thousands of microorganisms and phytoplankton per minute and quickly characterize the concentration, morphology, and identity of cyanobacteria, algae, and other aquatic particles in source water, recreational waters, and research samples

FlowCam Water Quality Analyzer
FlowCam Cyano uses fluorescence-based flow imaging microscopy to detect and analyze phytoplankton in aquatic samples. Similar to a flow cytometer, it uses laser excitation to trigger fluorescence in cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic organisms. High-resolution images of the fluorescing particles are captured and classified, allowing users to distinguish cyanobacteria from algae, detritus, and other particles based on size, shape, and fluorescence profile. 

FlowCam Cyano streamlines aquatic research and supports faster, more informed water treatment decisions by automating phytoplankton detection and characterization.
