"This cell and particle counter is very easy to use, provides results in a quick and simple way, and is suitable for counting magnetic beads, to be used in immunoassays. Its cost and no need of maintenance makes it an excellent tool for lab workers, especially when compared to traditional cell counters. "   |

"Automated cell counting makes life so much easier as opposed to manual counting using the hemacytometer. The histogram showing cell size is extremely valuable with certain cell types. Another feature that I like is that it automatically detects whether or not trypan blue is being used and if so, adds in that dilution factor. The slides are on the pricey side but if you buy in bulk the price comes down a lot. " |

Description
The TC20 automated cell counter counts mammalian cells in one simple step using its innovative auto-focus technology and sophisticated cell counting algorithm to produce accurate cell counts in less than 30 seconds.
Upon insertion of a counting slide, the TC20 cell counter rapidly provides a total cell count (with or without trypan blue staining) and assesses cell viability via trypan blue exclusion.
120-240 V, includes instrument, power supply, USB flash drive, USB cable, 30 dual-chamber counting slides (60 counts), and 1.5 ml trypan blue.
TC20™ Automated Cell Counter (145-0102) Key features and benefits:
- Compatible with a broad range of cell sizes and types - count cell lines, primary cells (from tissue or blood), and stem cells
- Innovative auto-focus technology - removes the variation associated with manual focusing and leads to precise cell counts in 30 seconds
- Cell size gates - user selects a population of interest in complex samples, such as primary cells, or lets the cell counting algorithm do all the work
- Cell viability - analyzes cells accurately using multifocal plane analysis
- Easy to archive and analyze - stores up to 100 counts in the onboard memory for access any time, or use the optional TC20 data analyzer software on your PC to further analyze exported cell images
