Impressing machine
Colony counting
The use of Gelcount is very time-saving, user friendly and easy to learn how to use it. The service after purchasing is quite impressive, they devote many hours to solve my issues and found that really great.

Our system of choice for medium throughput colony counting and spheroid growth.
Colony counting and spheroid growth
The software is easy enough to use, although it is sometimes a bit more tricky to fine tune the settings. The data is exported in XL but also as a picture of the plate, which is good as sometimes a picture is very striking. Reproducibility is very good, and once parameters have been set up for a cell line and an assay, it saves time and is not dependent on user for colony counting. It is a bit annoying to have to send the machine back to the manufacturer for annual servicing, and not have an engineer come on site, but we get the machine back quickly.

Manufacturer's Response
We are grateful for Dr. Trivier's constructive feedback. While the scale of our operations indeed do not presently allow us to offer on-site preventative maintenance servicing the recommended servicing/recalibration interval for GelCount is every 2 years. By offering free packaging and pre-completed transport documentation as well as a rapid turn-around service we endeavour at all times to minimize the inconvenience that is associated with 'return-to-base' instrument servicing.
Great
Counting of cells
It is a good machine and works fine. Easy to use and trustworthy results. I recommend it.

Quicker and more accurate analysis of colony assays.
Mammalian colony counter
The GelCount is fantastic! We can now scan and count piles of plates in a few hours instead of days. It is very easy to use, reproducible; and the technical support is very responsive. A must-have for anyone doing a lot of colony assays.

Really great product!
Radiation biology
GelCount is really easy to use and the software is very user-friendly, it has saved me a lot of time on colony counting.

This instrument is terrific
Colony counting
Results are amazing and reproducible. We really love it in our lab in the US. I would love to have Oxford come and give an in house tutorial for all our people.

Saves a substantial amount of time & reduces plastic TC plate usage by 75%!
Analyze genotoxins in mutant cell lines
We used the GelCount to change our colony survival assays from a 6-well to a 24-well format. When we were getting this method set up, we got great support from the company to optimize the settings of the instrument. This new method has been highly reproducible and saves culture media, time, and plastic.

Great results. Very user friendly.
Mammosphere assay
This is a great instrument. The software is very easy to operate and the technical support is always ready to help. It saves a lot of time.

Good and can be easier to navigate
Cout number of colonies in soft agar plates
The equipment is good enough for analyzing the number of colonies, giving the colony count pretty quickly. It would be better if the ease of saving the images with and without colony counts is better.

This instrument has saved me countless hours.
Sphere culture counting of floating colonies
The gel count is a wonderful addition to our lab, due to its ease of use, simple set up and consistent behaviour we have increased our flow rate by a factor of ten. Previously we manually counted colonies which was time and cost prohibitive, now we can plan and execute much larger experiments and gain much more consistent results than before. I would highly recommend.
