Hi everyone,
We are looking for non-toxic microparticles that could be handled and ingested by zooplankton. We would like to use them as an external perturbation impacting the functional response of rotifers on green algae. We plan to run chemostat experiments with different particle sizes (10-25 µm) in high concentrations (~10^6 particles/mL) in a large volume (400 mL).
Have you some recommendations on the type of particle we should target?
Thanks in advance!
Tom

Latex calibration beads is an old option that still work for ingestion experiments with rotifers. There is a wide range of particle sizes offer for Coulter Counter calibration.
