Expert insights

If you're a researcher involved in cell counting, you'll know just how important it is for all stages of cellular therapy. In particular, the need for an accurate and consistent cell counting method is crucial for development and manufacturing of CAR-T under GMP/GLP conditions. Assays are required to qualify selected cell counting methods, to ensure robust and consistent cell measurement.

Currently, manual counting using trypan blue and hemacytometer is still the most used method, however, there are several inherent issues that can cause inaccuracy in both cell count and viability.

The Cellometer method has gone through rigorous qualification assays to provide rapid and accurate measurement of PBMCs, splenocytes, and apheresis samples at any stage of CAR-T cell therapy, from patient sample collection, transduction, to patient infusion. In this webinar, Dr. Leo Chan will discuss the advantages of using Cellometer automated cell counters compared to traditional trypan blue and manual counting methods.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.AutomationAutomation in laboratories and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency, precision, and scalability by reducing the need for manual intervention. It plays a critical role in improving productivity, minimizing human error, and accelerating workflows in fields like diagnostics, drug development, and industrial testing. Automation technologies include robotic systems, automated liquid handlers, and process control systems that streamline complex tasks and ensure consistent, reproducible results. Explore our peer-reviewed product directory to discover the best automation solutions, compare options, read user reviews, and get prices directly from manufacturers.CytometryCytometry is a broad term for the quantitative analysis of cells and cell systems. The most popular methods to study cytometry are flow cytometry and image cytometry.Cell TherapyCell therapy involves using living cells to treat diseases, often by replacing damaged cells or stimulating regeneration. Stem cell therapy and CAR-T cell therapy are examples of cutting-edge treatments in regenerative medicine and cancer immunotherapy.
