Chemometec offers a series of cell counters for various application areas.
NucleoCounter® NC-100™ – for total counting of mammalian cells and viability
NucleoCounter® NC-100+™ – for counting a variety of animal cells
NucleoCounter® YC-100™ – for total counting of yeast cells and viability
NucleoCounter® SP-100™ – for total count of sperm cells and viability
NucleoCounter® SCC-100™ – for counting of somatic cells in milk
NucleoCounter® NC-200™ – easiest and fastest one step viability and cell count
and the NucleoCounter® NC-3000™, a revolutionary instrument for advanced cell analyses, a full-spectrum fluorescence microscope which provides precise automated detection, quantification and analysis of fluorescence at the single cell level.
NucleoCounters are integrated fluorescence microscopes designed to detect signals from the fluorescent dye propidium iodide (PI) bound to DNA. Results from the NucleoCounter represent either total or nonviable cell concentration, depending on the sample preparation.
NucleoCounter® NC-100™
The NucleoCounter® NC-100™ is a compact instrument that fits perfectly in any mammalian cell laboratory performing research, quality control or monitoring of production.
The NucleoCounter NC-100 is very simple to operate, and only limited training is required.
NucleoCounter® NC-100+™
The NucleoCounter NC-100+ can count Avian Cells, Fish cells, Insect Cells, Mammalian Cells or
Plant Cells.
The NucleoCounter NC-100+ has 9 different levels of sensitivity, which can be adjusted to count the different types of cells.
Type 1 is the least sensitive and should be used for the counting of mammalian cells.
The optimal level of sensitivity should be chosen using the software NucleoView in collaboration with ChemoMetec A/S.
NucleoCounter® NC-100+™
NucleoCounter® YC-100™
The NucleoCounter YC-100 can be applied in the counting of yeast cells from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, beer and food industries.
