Do I need a computer to operate the Cellometer Instruments?
Yes. The only instruments that do not need a computer are the Cellometer Auto 1000 and Cellometer Auto 2000. All other Cellometer instruments connect to a PC via USB cable. An existing PC in your lab may be used, but if it is also running other instruments via USB, those instruments may cause communication issues with the Cellometer camera drivers and Cellometer software. Be sure to disconnect other USB instrumentation before using the Cellometer. A laptop PC with factory-loaded Cellometer software is also available for purchase with your Cellometer instrument.
