The Cellometer™ Auto T4 automated cell counter is designed for concentration and Trypan blue cell viability assessment of cell lines, even clumpy cells, with optional GMP/GLP software.
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
The Cellometer Auto T4 utilizes brightfield imaging and pattern-recognition software to quickly and accurately identify and count individual cells. Cell count, concentration, diameter, and % viability are automatically calculated and reported.
The Cellometer Auto T4 cell counter offers:
The Cellometer Auto T4 simultaneously calculates cell concentration and % viability for cultured cells stained with trypan blue.
Trypan blue viability is a dye exclusion method that utilizes membrane integrity to identify dead cells. The dye is unable to penetrate healthy cells, so they remain unstained. Dead cells have a compromised cell membrane that is permeable to the trypan blue dye. Dead cells are stained blue and display as dark cells in the Cellometer software with brightfield imaging.
Within 10 seconds, the Cellometer Auto T4 instrument reports:
Counted brightfield image
Live cells = green circle
Dead (stained) cells = red circle
With the Cellometer Auto T4 Cell Counter, cell morphology can be immediately viewed on-screen.
Two images with four fields of view each are captured per cell count. This is equivalent to the area of four quadrants of a hemocytometer. Counted cells are indicated on-screen for further verification that cells in the sample are being imaged and analyzed properly.
Users can confirm that:
The Cellometer distinguishes cells from cellular debris based on size, brightness, and morphology. This allows for increased accuracy with cell counts.
The Cellometer %CV (Coefficient of Variation), including sample preparation, was well under 5% for most cell lines tested. The CVs for manual counts ranged from 7% to 20%. Automated cell counters remove inter-operator variability and subjectivity from cell counts to generate more precise data.
