Temperature-induced microbubbles within natural marine samples may inflate small-particle counts in a Coulter Counter

ABSTRACT: The Coulter Counter, a common instrument used to enumerate phytoplankton, may over-estimate counts of particles <2.5 μm in equivalent spherical diameter (ESD) by an order of magnitude when samples are run at temperatures cooler than ambient laboratory conditions. This phenomenon is like...
