Flow cytometry is used to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of particles or cells in a fluid as they pass through at least one laser. Cell components are fluorescently stained and then excited by the laser to emit light at varying wavelengths.

Fluorescent staining coupled with flow cytometry (FCM) is commonly used for monitoring, quantifying, and characterizing bacteria in seawater, freshwater, drinking water, wastewater, and industrial bioreactors.
