FlowCam Cyano - Water Quality Analyzer for Cyanobacteria Identification

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.

• Identify and enumerate Cyanobacteria in freshwater and marine environments using high-sensitivity fluorescence detection
• Calculate algae cell counts, concentration, and biovolume
• Save time and money on drinking water testing, and eliminate customer complaints
• Automatically identify organisms by creating libraries in VisualSpreadsheet software

• Particle size range: 2 µm to 1 mm; Magnification options : 20X, 10X, 4X, and 2X
• High-resolution color camera
• 2 fluorescence channels to differentiate Cyanobacteria from other algae: 633 nm laser (Chlorophyll - Ch1: 700 nm ± 10 nm, Phycocyanin - Ch2: 650 nm ± 10 nm)
• Minimum sample volume: 100 µL
• Sample flow rate: 0.05 mL/minute up to 10 mL/minute, depending on flow cell configuration
• Ease of use instrumentation & fully integrated VisualSpreadsheet software
