FlowCam Cytometer

Written By Dana Brocious

The Foundation’s purchase and donation of the FlowCam to TON NRD Brant Point Shellfish Hatchery has allowed the following improvements:

  • Accurate phytoplankton and harmful algal bloom identification in order to monitor harbor water quality

  • Allows hatchery to process, view and quantify larval shellfish samples in under five minutes vs hours when compared to a microscope

  • Integral tool for the successful future of the Town’s shellfish hatchery production
