Millipore Scepter

• Used in biotechnology and research facilities for quantifying cell concentrations.
• Applied in cell culture laboratories for monitoring cell growth and viability.
• Utilised in drug discovery and development for assessing cell-based assay results.
• Employed in quality control processes for cell-based product manufacturing.

Typical capacity

Capable of analysing samples in volumes typically ranging from 10 µL to 100 µL.

Power supply

Commonly operates on standard laboratory power, typically 100-240V AC, 50/60 Hz.

Throughput

Offers rapid analysis, with typical measurement times of a few seconds per sample.

Detection principle

Utilises impedance-based particle detection for accurate cell counting.

Footprint

Designed as a handheld or compact benchtop unit, requiring minimal laboratory space.

Maintenance requirements

Generally low, primarily involving routine cleaning and calibration checks.

• What types of cells can the Millipore Scepter count?

  The Millipore Scepter is typically used for counting a wide range of mammalian cells, yeast, and some bacterial cells, depending on the specific sensor tip used.

• Does this unit require specific consumables?

• Is calibration necessary for accurate results?

• What is the typical sample volume required?

• Can it 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.
