THE FLO TESTING METHOD: FLOW CYTOMETRY

With over 30% of treated waterlines failing to meet the CDC guideline for safe water (≤500 CFU/mL)†, your practice needs to know the water it uses is safe now, not a week from now. The lab that is trusted more than any other brings you Flo™ with same-day test results*.

Unlike traditional testing methods, Flo™ requires no incubation time. Instead, Flo™ utilizes the most advanced dental water testing technology available, flow cytometry (FCM).

FCM is a technique used to detect and measure chemical characteristics of cells. Instead of the slow process of growing bacteria under precise conditions, the Lab Team at ProEdge is able to utilize laser technology to identify and survey thousands of unique cells within a water sample in only seconds. This is why with Flo, your test results can be provided the same day they arrive at ProEdge.
