What type of cells can this counter analyse?

This type of cell counter is typically suitable for a wide range of mammalian cells, including primary cells, cell lines, and stem cells, providing counts and size distributions.

Does it require specific reagents or consumables?

Yes, units like the Scepter 3.0 typically require specific sensor tips (e.g., 40 µm or 60 µm aperture) and a compatible sheath fluid or diluent for operation.

How accurate are the cell counts?

Automated cell counters utilising the Coulter principle are known for their high accuracy and precision in determining cell concentration and size, reducing user variability compared to manual methods.

Is calibration required for this equipment?

Routine calibration or verification with control beads is typically recommended to ensure ongoing accuracy and performance of the instrument.

What maintenance is typically involved?

Maintenance commonly involves cleaning the instrument, ensuring proper storage of sensor tips, and periodic verification of performance with control samples.

Informação típica para esta categoria de máquinas. Confirme sempre os pormenores com o vendedor.

Cell counting and viability assessment in cell culture laboratories.
Monitoring cell proliferation in drug discovery and development.
Quality control in biopharmaceutical production processes.
Analysis of primary cells and stem cell cultures.
Research applications requiring precise cell concentration and size data.

Typical throughput: Units of this type typically provide results in approximately 10-30 seconds per sample.
Sample volume: Commonly requires a small sample volume, typically in the microlitre range (e.g., 10-20 µL).
Detection principle: Operates on the Coulter principle for accurate cell sizing and counting.
Cell size range: Typically capable of detecting cells within a size range of 6-60 µm.
Power supply: For this class of equipment, a standard laboratory power supply (e.g., 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz) is common.
Data output: Often features USB connectivity for data transfer and analysis on a PC.
Portability: Units like the Scepter are designed for handheld convenience, offering portability within the lab.

Cell counters are valued for their reliability and precision in laboratory and clinical settings. Buyers typically seek models with proven track records from established manufacturers, prioritising optical quality and calibration accuracy. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting optical components for damage and verifying recent calibration certification are essential. Common strengths include consistent cell count reproducibility, straightforward operation, and good durability across extended service life. Models offering flexible counting parameters and compatible with various cell types tend to hold their value well in the secondary market.
