Measurement of algal growth parameters
such as cell size, cell number, and growth
rate is important for confirming optimal
growth conditions and culture health. One
of the best ways to simultaneously assess al
gal culture health is to take a series of cell
size and number measurements during their
growth cycle. The simplest method to do this
is to use the Coulter Principle.
The Moxi Z mini automated cell counter
provides a valuable three-parameter cell as
say (count, sizing, health) in just 8–15 sec
onds. Leveraging the single-cell resolution
of the Coulter Principle, this information
is provided with a degree of precision and
accuracy rivaled only by higher-cost count
ing systems. However, the Moxi Z achieves
this performance with enhanced usability,
increased functionality, and a maintenance
free operation.
