Fluorescence microscopy is a rapid analysis technique used to quantify microplastics. By utilizing selective fluorescent staining such as Nile Red, plastic particles glow under specific light wavelengths, making them easily distinguishable from natural debris.
Purpose: Rapidly quantifies microplastic concentrations in water samples.
Timeframe: 5–10 business days.
Report Deliverables:
Total Particle Counts (per liter)
Size Distribution (detailed breakdown of particle dimensions)
Shape Distribution (classification by morphology: fibers, fragments, beads, etc.)
Note: This method is ideal for rapid quantification of microplastics. For chemical fingerprinting or polymer type identification (e.g., PE, PP, PET), please explore our advanced analysis services.
