FlowCam Cyano detects cyanobacteria, other algae, and particles in water samples. Using the organism’s fluorescent signature to differentiate cyanobacteria from other algae, VisualSpreadsheet® further classifies taxa through image analysis.
FlowCam Cyano provides a cost-effective, fast, and easy solution to monitor source water, reservoirs, and water treatment processes. A high throughput, semi-automated alternative to manual microscopy, FlowCam helps water utilities and other freshwater monitoring agencies reduce labor hours, save money on testing, and eliminate customer complaints.
Existing customers, please contact FlowCam Customer Care for technical support issues and questions.
