Custom Webcast: Using Flow Cytometry in Drinking Water Microbiology
Webinar - United Kingdom
This is a custom webcast sponsored by BD Biosciences.
Flow cytometry is emerging as a rapid, quantitative, cultivation-independent method for routine monitoring of drinking water.
This webinar will focus on the advantages and challenges of flow cytometry as a tool in drinking water research and monitoring, using specific examples from full-scale treatment and distribution systems and comparing flow cytometry data with conventional cultivation-based plating data.
Dr. Hammes will discuss the establishment of standardized methodology for total cell count (TCC) determination and the best available tools for viability analysis, emphasizing the critical importance of accurate protocols to achieve reproducible results.He will review specific techniques and outline guidelines for obtaining accurate data on drinking water microbiology. Finally, we will explore new and exciting research and application opportunities for flow cytometric fingerprinting of bacterial communities and fully automated, real-time flow cytometry.
