Water & environmental monitoring
Automate microscope counts of algae, cyanobacteria and plankton. FlowCam images every cell in a sample so labs can identify and count organisms faster and more consistently.
Water utilities, pollution control and environmental labs, aquaculture farms, and marine and freshwater research institutes.
Challenges we help solve
Counting organisms by eye takes hours per sample and depends on the analyst.
Cyanobacteria must be detected early to protect drinking water and aquaculture.
Results need images that can be reviewed and audited later.
