Cell Counting Beads
Cell counting beads for Cellometer and Cellaca instruments
The beads are supplied with a protocol, a certificate of analysis, and pass/fail criteria which users may choose to test concentration or viability read-outs on their instruments.
With the cell counting beads, users can:
- Rapidly verify instrument functionality.
- Mimic a live/dead assay with fluorescent beads.
- All bead products are made of polystyrene.
- Provide quick and simple cell counting checks.
- Bead products do not replace IQOQ (which must be purchased separately).
