Cellometer® Automatic Cell Counter - How Does it Work

Cellometer® automatic cell counting principle is based on imaging cytometry. Cells in suspension are spread into a thin layer of liquid, as in a traditional hemacytometer. Cellometer® Cell Counters, connected to a computer via USB cable acquire cell image from multiple locations of a Cellometer® disposable hemacytometer. Cellometer® software automatically analyzes acquired cell images and measures cell concentration and cell size. Viability and live cell concentration are measured using trypan blue exclusion dye.

Cell Counting Steps: 1, 2, 3

Step1: Pipette 20µL

Step 2: Insert Slide

Step 3: Get Data

Step 1. Pipette 20 micro-liter sample into a disposable Cellometer® chamber
Step 2. Place Cellometer® chamber into a cell counter
Step 3. Run Cellometer® software to obtain cell concentration and viability automatically
Typical cell line takes less than 30 second per sample.
