Cellometer X2 Image Cytometer
Optimized for brewing yeast, wine yeast and other small cells with two channels of fluorescence.
Huge time saver with great results!
Yeast Cell Counts
The Cellometer X2 has been a great purchase for us. It has allowed us to expand the amount of cell counts we do on a daily basis and it takes us less time to do them than counting by hand with a microscope. We no longer have to worry about training new individuals which cells to count, and which to leave out since the Cellometer takes care of it all. The service team is always helpful and we have never had a problem they haven't been able to solve quickly.

The Cellometer X2 offers both bright field imaging and fixed Red (Ex 540nm / Em 660nm) and Green (Ex 470nm / Em 535) fluorescent optics modules. It is specifically designed for analysis of small cells such as yeast and platelets. The proprietary software accurately identifies individual cells, even in clumpy or chain-forming samples. The Cellometer software captures and analyzes images in less than 30 seconds to provide count, concentration and viability measurements. Data and images are auto-saved and can be auto-printed.
Yeast Concentration and Viability using Image-Based Fluorescence Analysis
Yeasts are an economically important organism used for ethanol production in the beverage and alternative fuels industries as well as a leavening agent in the baking industry. In addition, pathogenic strains of yeasts are involved in both plant and animal diseases. Concentration and viability determinations are routinely performed for quality control purposes in yeast production, fermentation processes, and fungicides research to monitor proliferation of pathogenic yeasts.
Insights into Food Integrity: Reflections on a Global Summit
The Belfast Summit on Global Food Integrity 2018, brought together food-security experts from all over the world. From academia to NGOs these industry leaders gathered to develop a number of white papers, aimed to change policy worldwide.
