Computational flow cytometry of planktonic populations for the evaluation of microbiological-control programs in district cooling plants

Abstract Biofouling poses a serious concern for the district cooling (DC) industry. Current industry practises for monitoring biofouling continue to rely on culture-based methods for microbial enumeration, which are ultimately flawed. Computational flow cytometric (cFCM) analyses, which offer enhanc...
