Abstract: La présente invention porte sur un procédé de détection de particules d'exopolymères transparentes dans un échantillon d'eau. Le procédé comprend l'étape d'obtention d'un échantillon d'eau et l'introduction d'un réactif fluorochromatique dans l'échantillon d'eau. Le réactif fluorochromatique est spécifique à des groupes d'hydroxyde voisins des particules d'exopolymères transparentes, ce par quoi le signal de fluorescence du réactif change lorsqu'il vient en contact avec des particules d'exopolymères transparentes, c'est-à-dire TEP. Finalement, le signal de fluorescence provenant de l'échantillon d'eau est détecté et le niveau de TEP de l'échantillon est déterminé.
