The Cellometer Spectrum Image Cytometer performs cell-based assays in minutes. The system has user-changeable fluorescent optics modules and provides flow results without flow cytometry.
Tired of manual cell counting? Let's face it, manual cell counting is tedious. When your day is filled with culturing many cell lines at one time, that's hours of your day just to get the data you need. Not only that, the manual process can be riddled with judgment errors, miscounts, and user-to-user variability. I know what you’re thinking, "You're telling me my hours hunched over a microscope counting cells may not even be producing reliable data?!" Yup. You need a superhero. "So what are my options?" Well, what if there were a powerful superhero that could take a small [...]
How many brewers does it take to count yeast? This sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. In truth, cell counting is really simple but labor intensive & extremely time-consuming. With a Nexcelom Cellometer X2 – it only takes one click & 30 seconds per sample! Cellometer has earned a reputation as the “go to” cell counter for breweries seeking accurate yeast counts, viability & vitality. Just look at the map comparing the distribution of Nexcelom’s Cellometer automated yeast counters and the Top 50 breweries in the US. Data based on beer sales volume adapted from Brewery Association (BA) [...]
Did your lab’s grant fall through? Funding not an option? We get it – money’s tight right now. In Nexcelom’s long line of automated cell counters, there is one instrument designed specifically with your budget in mind – the Cellometer Mini! As the lowest-cost cell counter on the market, it utilizes bright field imaging, and is perfect for any lab looking to achieve basic cell count, concentration and Trypan Blue viability of cultured cell lines and purified primary samples. It’s affordable, accurate, and small enough to fit in your purse or backpack! Need a little convincing? Don’t just take our word [...]
Nexcelom has been using a slogan for the past few years - Better tools for better biology for better life. We manufacture better tools (Cellometer & Celigo) that help researchers perform better biology (cell counts, viability, drug discovery, cell-based assays, etc...) which leads to advances in science and better life for everyone involved! When we were coming up with the slogan, we were going to finish the third part to read "for better science" - but one of our customer groups are breweries (yeast are cells, too!) - and we didn't want to exclude such an important group. One of [...]
In 2007 two guys (and their dog) set out on a journey to revolutionize the brewing industry. With a passion for flavor, quality and a love of craft brewing, they created the BrewDog brand. Almost a decade later they are by far one of the world’s premier craft brewers, with an ever-expanding British brewery, 26 independent bars around the world, and range of brews that have become the staple of the craft connoisseurs. Along with a huge export business comes the breaking of ground on BrewDog’s new US brewery (Ohio). In order to continue producing the highest quality beers consistently [...]
384-well Ultra-low attachment treatedround bottom multi-well plates 96-well Ultra-low attachment treated round bottom multi-well plates Nexcelom has just released two new products: Ultra-low adhesion round-bottom plates in 96-well and 384-well formats that are specifically designed for working with 3D tumor spheroids. These clear wall, clear bottom plates were validated with U87 MG cells and tracked using a bright-field imaging technique on the Celigo Image Cytometer. These plates are ideal for single spheroid drug screening assays and can also be used to investigate spheroid invasion with the addition of Matrigel. You can read more about the plates [...]
Avery Brewing Company in Boulder, Colorado has introduced a Cellometer to their brewing process, improving their procedures, as well as the product’s taste and quality. The Cellometer is employed as a quality control check over the yeast cells inside the facility’s fermenters. Making sure the yeast cells fermenting the beer are healthy and enzymatically active ensures a high quality product, with fewer mutated and/or dying cells that can negatively affect the beer’s flavor. Adam, the owner of Avery Brewing Co. says that the Cellometer has “changed the way we made beer and it also changed the way our beer tastes”. Watch this episode of [...]
In collaboration with our academic customers, we have developed a Teaching Lab program now available to any academic customer. Our program is designed to seamlessly integrate into courses that introduce students to: Using industry standard biotechnology tools and techniques Examine fundamental cell biology: cell health, morphology, viability Basic laboratory techniques: Hemacytometer vs. automated cell counting Hands-on experience using research tools in student-driven projects Incorporate novel technology into routine workflow Many colleges and universities nationwide have already incorporated our teaching lab program into their Freshman Research Initiatives and Research Methodology courses. The teaching lab program is a great teaching tool and [...]
We received a copy of the 2014/2015 Academic Consumables, Equipment, Life Science and Chemicals Contract Handbook from our Sweden distributor, Fisher Scientific, and listed in their instruments section are our Cellometer Mini, Cellometer Auto 1000 and Cellometer Auto 2000! If you are interested in learning more about the uses, applications and benefits of any of these "best buy" instruments, more information can be found here.
