The device helps me prepare the cell samples more efficiently
automated cell counter
The device is easy to use with high accuracy. It can be used with disposable or reused slides, which can be environmentally friendly. Since I need to isolate the primary cells and require counting with many samples, I could do it more efficiently and accurately with the automated cell counter, which benefits my experiments.

Great cell counter.
Counting cells
Great product and it makes your life easier when is time to count cells. Fast and reliable.
Review Date: 18 Jun 2021 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
Vital to our lab!
Flow cytometry
It works great for us. We use it to count cells for calculations of plate seeding, flow cytometry and xenograft cell implants.
Review Date: 21 May 2021 | Thermo Fisher Scientific
Love the automated cell counter.
Cell counting
Cell counter makes cell count so much easier and it shows the percentage and amount of dead cells versus viable cells which is great. The sales reps were amazing and so helpful, allowing us to try the cell counter for almost a month before purchasing.

The Countess 3 Automated Cell Counter is a benchtop cell counting system equipped with an advanced machine-learning algorithm, ruggedized optics, fully-automated focus and lighting, and image analysis software for rapid assessment of primary and immortalized cell samples.
- Accurate—eliminates the subjectivity of manual cell counting and user-to-user variability
- Fast—counts live and dead cells, measures viability, and reports average cell size with a single touch in about 20 seconds
- Convenient—requires no cleaning or routine maintenance; flush-mounted high-resolution capacitive touchscreen and simple user interface provide quick startup, require minimal training, and offer automatic saving of data to USB or cloud
The Countess 3 Automated Cell Counter works in two simple steps:
Pipet sample into a slide – choose between the Countess Reusable Slide or the Countess Cell Counting Chamber Slide
Insert the slide into the instrument. Rapid Capture and Auto-Save modes allow cell counting with a single touch. Focus, lighting, and file saving are executed automatically.
Get accurate cell counts
The Countess 3 Automated Cell Counter uses trypan blue staining combined with auto-focus and lighting driven by a machine-learning image analysis algorithm to obtain accurate cell and viability counts. The measurement range extends from 1 × 104 to 1 × 107 cells/mL (the optimal range is 1 × 105 to 4 × 106 cells/mL), which is broader than that of a hemocytometer.
Transfer data and images to your PC or cloud
Using the USB port on the Countess 3 Automated Cell Counter and any USB drive, you can save your cell count results and images and transfer them to your PC. Alternatively, use the Wi-Fi dongle and save results to the cloud for remote access and sharing.

Comparison of the Countess II Automated Cell Counters vs. hemocytometers
The most common method for counting cells uses a microscope and hemocytometer. The Invitrogen™ Countess™ II Automated Cell Counters were developed to remove some of the barriers to switching to an automated cell counter. In this application note, Thermo Fisher Scientific compares these cell counting methods.
