10cells
An easy-to-operate field instrument for checking ballast water
With the bbe 10cells device we have used our manufacturing experience of more than 2 decades of chlorophyll instrument production to venture into new measurement dimensions – the detection of single living algal
cells.
Microalgae are an ideal indicator in many applications since they make up the largest part of the biomass of small organisms. The I0cells is thus always the right choice when the smallest possible algal concentration has to be detected. The determination of the amount of algae is an ideal parameter for ballast water quality assessment. Using a modified PAM procedure (patent) the 10cells achieves a very low detection rate of only one living cell per ml. Thus, it is 10 times more sensitive than the limit required by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and up to 100 times more sensitive than any other commercially available ballast water analysis instrument. Other typical applications are process control for drinking water production in waterworks or cooling water production in industrial plants. In daily use, the 10cells supports the controlled and efficient dosing of flocculants or biocides.
