Developed by CytoBuoy b.v. company in the Netherlands, specializing in flow cytometry analysis technology for phytoplankton, its equipment combines flow cytometry and optical imaging, specifically designed for monitoring aquatic ecosystems
NetherlandsCytoBuoycommonmodel
. Portable CytoSense
·Suitable for rapid laboratory or field testing, supporting analysis of phytoplankton in the particle size range of 0.4 μ m-4000 μ m, with built-in circulating sheath fluid system, no need for sample pretreatment
. Online monitoring CytoBuoy
·Can integrate buoys or fixed platforms, achieve remote monitoring through wireless transmission, support long-term unmanned monitoring, suitable for dynamic tracking of phytoplankton in water bodies and red tide warning
. Underwater CytoSub
·Equipped with waterproof design, underwater profile measurement can be carried out within the true light layer range, combined with CTD sensor to expand hydrological parameter synchronous acquisition
NetherlandsCytoBuoyTechnical features of the product:
ToUltra large particle size range detection (0.4 μm–700 μm)、 Field applicabilityAndOnline monitoring capabilityAs a core advantage, filling the technical gap of traditional flow cytometry in phytoplankton research
· Multi parameter detectionConfigure forward/lateral light scattering (FSC/SSC) and red, green, and orange fluorescence detectors to support phytoplankton classification and pigment analysis
· Pulse signal fingerprint spectrumBy capturing dynamic optical signals, generate cell morphological feature maps to improve classification accuracy to the species level
· Flow imaging technologyMicroscopic photography of specific cell populations can be performed, combined with AI algorithms to achieve automatic recognition and early warning
· modular designSupport upgrading to buoy or underwater versions, suitable for various scenarios such as laboratories, fields, and oceans

Application Fields and Cases of CytoBoy in the Netherlands
. Ecological monitoring and early warning
·It is used to monitor the outbreak of cyanobacteria in the Taihu Lake Lake, Chaohu Lake and other waters, capture the change of dominant species through high-frequency data, and support the early warning system of harmful algal blooms (HABs)
. Marine and Freshwater Research
·Applied to the analysis of phytoplankton community structure in the East China Sea and South China Sea voyages, combined with satellite remote sensing data to establish a multidimensional ecological model
