DeepCyte: An autonomous underwater flow cytometer — NSF Award to University of Washington (WA, $968,427)
Single cell photosynthetic organisms, the phytoplankton, generate roughly 50% of the oxygen produced each year on the planet and are the base of the marine food web on which life in the ocean depends. Flow cytometry is the most accurate method for counting and identifying phytoplankton populations in the ocean. The Dee

| Abstract | Single cell photosynthetic organisms, the phytoplankton, generate roughly 50% of the oxygen produced each year on the planet and are the base of the marine food web on which life in the ocean depends. Flow cytometry is the most accurate method for counting and identifying phytoplankton populations in the ocean. The DeepCyte submersible flow cytometer represents a significant advancement in flow cytometry instrumentation and is characterized by high sensitivity, low power consumption, compact siz |
