Typical throughput

Units of this type typically offer rapid analysis, often completing counts in seconds per sample.

Sample volume

Commonly, only microlitre sample volumes are required for analysis.

Detection range

For this class of equipment, a broad range of cell sizes can typically be detected and analysed.

Power supply

Units commonly operate on standard laboratory power supplies, typically 100-240V AC.

Footprint

These devices are generally compact benchtop units, suitable for laboratory environments.

Data output

Typically, data can be exported via USB or network connections for further analysis and record-keeping.

• What is the primary function of a Millipore Scepter?

  The Millipore Scepter is a handheld, automated cell counter designed for accurate and rapid cell enumeration and viability assessment in laboratory settings.

• Does this unit require specific consumables?

• Is this Scepter suitable for all cell types?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used Scepter?

• Can this unit differentiate between live and dead cells?

Cell counters are valued for their reliability and precision in laboratory and research settings. Buyers typically seek units with consistent accuracy and minimal maintenance requirements. When purchasing used equipment, focus on calibration history, optical clarity, and whether software updates are available. These instruments generally perform well across extended lifecycles, though verification of counting accuracy and sample handling mechanisms is advisable before acquisition.
