Specialty: Standardized Biofilm Methods
E-mail: lindsey.lorenz@montana.edu
Lindsey has been with the CBE's Standardized Biofilm Methods Laboratory for over ten
years. She has performed research, testing, and microscopy projects for regulatory
agencies and industrial companies. Her primary areas of focus are disinfectant efficacy
testing to evaluate kill and/or removal of biofilm on surfaces, and growing/evaluating
relevant laboratory biofilms to mimic those found in environments such as food contact
surfaces, industrial and process water systems, and the built environment. She is
also a contributor to the writing and filming of biofilm method training videos. Lindsey’s
microscopy experience includes biofilm staining techniques, microscopic imaging (to
assess biofilm growth, treatment, and removal/kill due to disinfectant treatments),
and qualitative and quantitative image analysis of biofilm images.
Lindsey is proficient on the microscopes housed in the CBE microscope facility, including two Nikon epifluorescent microscopes, a Leica fluorescent stereomicroscope, and both the Leica SP5 Upright and Inverted Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopes.
