We introduce Shimadzu's newly developed UV micro algae analysis system which permits simple measurement of the micro algae concentration using a spectrophotometer. Measurement of a single sample can be accomplished very quickly in about one minute using a disposable screw-cap vial (or disposable cell).

Simple Quantitative Measurement of Nannochloropsis Micro Algae
Concentration and Plot of reflectance at 910 nm
Using samples other than 70, 30 and 500 million cell/ml as standard samples, calibration curves of the single regression method (Primary calibration curve: Figure 3) and the multiple linear regression method were prepared, and the concentrations of samples of 70, 30 and 500 million cell/ml were quantitatively calculated. As shown in Table 1, the single regression method gives good predicted results, but multiple regression gives more accurate predicted results.
