Description
The first and only device to bring consistency in cell counting right to the culture hood is here: the Scepter™ 2.0 handheld automated cell counter. While other automated counters consume bench space and rely on object recognition software, manual focusing, and clumsy loading chambers, the Scepter cell counter provides automated, impedance-based counting without the error that accompanies vision-based systems.
In addition to precision cell counting, the ScepterTM cell counter has been cross-validated with flow cytometry to provide insightful data on a wide variety of applications including:
• Immuno-monitoring
• Cell Death
• Human PBMC Counting
• Cell Cycle Analysis
• Adipogenesis Monitoring

Hernan Carol Status: See all reviews Member since 2011 Organization: CHILDREN'S CANCER INST. Read more » | RATING: 3.0 
"The hand held piece of equipment is easy to operate for a small numbers of samples .It is not terribly heavy but clearly more so than a regular pipette, so the continuous use may have some impact on your wrist and hand if you already do a lot of pipetting. Its initial cost is reasonable, however the tips (disposable) are a significant cost on a per run basis. The tips (come in two sizes) are somewhat hard to fit into the pipette and more importantly are not fully prevented from being fitted the wrong way around (in fact an inexperienced student damaged the contacts by doing this). Range of concentration in which it is reliable is limited. We have tried other pieces of equipment for this same purpose and found this to be reliable and with good consistency on repeats. Battery life is good and charges through a USB port. Downloading the files saved may take some time but is not required too frequently."   |

"It's a very useful cell culture! I'm using it for drug proliferation and apoptosis assays. It's very accurate and the software is very complete but consuming for spare tips." |
