PROTOZOA ANALYSES
BSA provides exceptional protozoan analyses at research quality, cost-effective
standards for government and commercial clients. Each project we undertake is
conducted in accordance with prescribed client standards for quality of
services in protozoan analyses.
Ciliate and heterotrophic nannoflagellate abundance and biomass is used to
determine the trophic composition of a body of water. Polluted waters often
have a rich and characteristic protozoan fauna.
The relative abundance and diversity of protozoa are used as indicators of
organic and toxic pollution. Identification of protozoan communities provides
the necessary information to make informed decisions about management and
restoration. BSA offers the following protozoan services:
-
Identification of protozoa

Statistical analyses of your data
Express services are available upon request.
BSA produces voucher collections of protozoan specimens with permanent slides
of samples, mounted using standard techniques.
