Yeast cell counter promises extreme ease of use and reliable operation, especially well suited for routine analysis of yeast samples
The manual microscopic method of counting cells in the laboratory is both time consuming and generally provides results that depend on the subjective judgment of the operator.
The new NucleoCounter YC-100 yeast cell counter from Sartorius offers extreme ease of use and reliable operation, especially well suited for routine analysis of yeast samples.
The NucleoCounter YC-100 is intended for use in research and productions environments.
The unprecedented combination of speed, precision and user-safety offered by the NucleoCounter YC-100 makes it ideal for advanced research tasks and routine measurements, says Sartorius.
The compact unit is maintenance and calibration free, which ensures ongoing costs are kept to a minimum.
The principle technique that is used in the NucleoCounter is the well-known method of fluorescence microscopy, implemented into a small, highly advanced fluorescence microscope combined with a CCD camera and hardware-based image analysis.
During counting, a NucleoCasstte, which is precoated with nuclei staining dye, is loaded with a small sample/buffer mix and then placed into the NucleoCounter for a count to be produced and viability tested.
The NucleoView PC Software can present viability calculations together with signal histogram and complete picture image.
All results can be transferred to a spreadsheet for further processing.
The novel method of the NucleoCounter has now been adapted for several applications which include the counting of cultured mammalian cells.
