Contadores de células for the laboratory
Automated instruments that count cells and determine their viability (live versus dead), replacing manual counting in a chamber. They measure cell concentration and parameters of a culture or bioprocess.
contadores de células guide
Monitoring of cell growth, control of fermentations and bioprocesses, maintenance of cell lines, production scale-up and metabolic profiling in biopharmaceuticals and research.
How to choose contadores de células
- It depends on the degree of automation and number of samples
- The minimum sample volume
- The concentration range
- Whether additional metabolic analysis is required
- And the traceability of results. Specific values come from the catalog (Sanity)
Frequently asked questions about contadores de células
What do I gain over manual counting with a hemocytometer?
Objectivity and traceability: the automated counter eliminates operator-to-operator variability, counts hundreds of cells per measurement, calculates viability and stores records and images. In routine culture work, the time saving is immediate.
How does it determine cell viability?
The most common methods are trypan blue exclusion (imaging) and fluorescent stains that distinguish live, dead and apoptotic cells. Fluorescence is more accurate in dirty samples or those with cell debris.
Is it suitable for bioprocesses and cell therapy?
Yes: in bioreactors and cell manufacturing, count and viability are critical daily process parameters. For GMP environments there are models with user control, audit trail and 21 CFR Part 11 validation support.
What cell types can it count?
Mammalian lines, primary cells, yeasts and spheroids, depending on the model and the optical method. If you work with complex samples (aggregates, extreme sizes), it is best to validate with your own samples before deciding.
