Abstrakt: Dental unit waterline (DUWL) safety is vital for dental practitioners. Unfortunately, the standard heterotrophic plate count (HPC) methods commonly used to identify bacterial contamination dramatically underestimate planktonic bacteria counts. Flow cytometry (FCM) directly counts bacterial cells using laser-activated fluorescence, providing more reliable and timely results.
