Download the App Note Proper cell sample preparation is a critical step for any cell-based assay. Accurate cell count and viability results are required to prepare cells for downstream assays, and for analysis of intracellular analytes such as DNA/RNA, intracellular proteins, and small molecules, an appropriate cell lysis procedure is needed. Traditional cellular lysis methods can be time-consuming and heavily reliant on reagents such as enzymes or detergents. Download our application note to learn how the Cellometer® K2 Fluorescent Cell Counter was used to accurately determine cell count and viability of neuroprogenitor cells pre-and post-homogenization with the Bead Ruptor Elite Bead [...]

Download the Application Note Cellometer® K2 Flourescence Cell Counter & HIVE™ scRNAseq Solution There is a fine line between liberating single cells from their sample matrix and compromising cell integrity. Single cell RNAseq is more sensitive to sample preparation and storage than traditional sequencing, so even seasoned researchers may underestimate the importance of QC for cell viability and sample purity. The Cellometer® K2 Fluorescent Cell Counter measures viability and purity more reliably than trypan blue1,2 and brightfield,3 so you can quickly optimize your sample prep without wasting your sequencing budget. Using the Cellometer® K2 Cell Counter to count cells optimizes [...]
