Algae

 

We are specialized in freshwater algae and work in this field since 1988 in rivers, lakes, ponds etc. and evaluate phytoplankton and periphyton.

 

Methods:

 

  • Identified to family or genus or species level by inverted microscope
  • Evaluation by Delayed Fluorescence (DF)-Kinetic for analysis of the composition of the phytoplankton or periphyton community. The (DF)-Kinetic Photometer use monochromatic light for the excitation to distinguish quantitatively between the photosynthetic activity of green algae, diatoms, blue-green algae and cryptophytes. The advantage over microscopic identification is time (immediate analysis of samples) and cost reduction.

Heterotrophic organisms:
zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, and emergent insects

 

We are specialized in freshwater organisms and work in this field since 1988 in rivers, lakes, ponds etc. Organisms can be identified to family, genus or species level. We offer you our experience in zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, and emergent insects.

For more information about the procedures or costs please feel free to contact us. There is a wide range of possibilities to proceed with the different biological samples in different analytical methods.
