Cellometer and Cellaca Slides

Cellometer Disposable Counting Chambers

Cellometer Counting Chambers are compatible with all Cellometer Systems. Each all-plastic, disposable slide contains two sample counting chambers with precisely controlled height. The fixed 20µl sample size allows for simple, automated calculation of cell concentration following imaging and counting. After loading the sample, the slide is inserted into a Cellometer System. Cells are imaged directly from the center of the counting chamber. Image-based counting with disposable counting chambers offers several key advantages:

  • No potential clogging
  • Ideal for fragile samples, such as hepatocytes
  • No washing
  • No potential cross-contamination

Loading a Chamber

Each chamber has two ports. Load cell sample following the recommended volume for your slide type (shown in the table) into one port. The second port allows air to escape for easy loading.

Cellometer Disposable Counting Chambers PD100

PD100 Slides (2 counting chambers per slide)

The PD100 slides are standard chamber thickness, accommodating cells from 2 to 80µm in diameter. PD slides are individually QC-checked and packed in microscope slide boxes. Each slide is ready-to-use.

PD300 Slides (2 counting chambers per slide)

The PD300 slides are larger slides designed for cells >80µm in diameter, such as adipocytes. The Cellometer Auto 2000, Vision, and Vision CBA instruments are compatible with the PD300 slides.

Cellometer Disposable Counting Chambers SD100

SD100 Slides (2 counting chambers per slide)

SD100 slides are standard slide thickness, for cells ranging from 2 to 80µm in diameter. Each slide has a protective film on both sides that must be removed before use. The SD100 slides are a cost-effective alternative to the ready-to-use PD100 slides.

SD025 Slides (2 counting chambers per slide)

SD025 slides are for cells < 20 microns in diameter. Each slide has a protective film on both sides that must be removed before use. The SD025 slides are a cost-effective alternative to the ready-to-use PD100 slides.

Cellaca® PLX, Low Fluorescence Slides

The Cellaca PLX slides are designed for assays that require extra sensitivity when performing fluorescent-based multiplexed assays. From immunophenotyping to fluorescent protein expression, the low-sample volume slides, 12 µL per sample, are perfect for sensitive assays. The slide holder, which is included with the instrument, can accommodate 4 slides or 8 samples per experimental run.
