NucleoCounter® NC-202™ automated cell counter by ChemoMetec

"We use the Nucleocounter NC-202 for cell measurements before and after freezing as well as during various cell culture protocols in the research lab and have the previous model as well in our GMP facility. The improvements from the first to the new generation are great and reduce analysis times even further. Data presentation is well done and can be adapted according to the customer's needs. With the counting cassettes it is super easy to use and even qualifications could be done by your own with purchasable qualification kits. The only small disadvantage: the cassettes are a bit pricey if you happen to run a lot of these analyses. Hence just 4 out of 5 stars for the value for money."

"This cell counter is super easy to use, needs low volumes of cell suspension, it's very quick and consistent. We use with many different cell types, from primary tissues and cell lines, and it manages to count everything despite cell aggregates and big changes in cell sizes. It is also capable of counting dead cells way more accurately than other cell counters. Our assays require very accurate cell ratios for co-cultures and the NC202 has been great to achieving reproducibility!"

"It is small machine, easy to use, highly accurate. Can count organoids, very quick to use and export results to Excel sheet."

"Very easy to use, fast, for accurate and reproducible results with no prep needed. We use it for counting all different types of cells, and the choice between protocols are easy to navigate. With help from our field apllication specialist, support is great and fast for any questions we might have."

"The Nucleocounter NC-202 is a very stable and effective cell counter. It is very easy to use and hardly no maintenance is required."

"Its sleek, easy to use, and chemometec offers fine support when we have had issues with it. My only real complaint is that they insist on calling the volume of diluent used for diluted samples 'dilution' instead of something that makes sense, like 'diluent'."

"We use the Nucleocounter NC-202 for cell count and viability measurement of mammalian cells in suspension. It is very easy to use and provides reproducible results. Results can easily be exported to Excel. The limitation is that it is only possible to measure one sample at a time."

"Nice counter, easy to use and very reproducible results. It also has a protocol for counting aggregated cells that is very useful. Very good after sales care."

"The NC-202 is extremely easy to use, as the user is just required to dip their via-2 cassette into the 200uL sample and press down on the cassette, then the cassette is loaded onto the device and the sample can be run - much simpler than using trypan blue for example. Results are repeatable with little variation between each reading, and we have not had any issues with inaccurate results. We have had no issues with the after sales care, the team have been on top of everything and we have had no real issues with our device."

"NC202 gives us highly accurate cell counts. The cells which we use it for are very sensitive and having trialled other counters, we've found that the NC202 works really well for our needs."

"So easy to use, results in minutes. Any issues have been resolved quickly. Easy to export results."

"NC-202 provides consistent cell counter result in less then one minute which help us to improve the quality of our daily work as well as to shorten the analytic time during the upstream manufacturing."

"The NC-202 is your solution for intra-assay precision with accurate automated focusing with primary cells. The software is easy to use and does a good job at storing historical data for users to easily retrieve. Tech support is easy to reach and good to work with."

"The NC-202 cell counter is a user-friendly device that can deliver automated cell counts with key metrics such as cell viability, debris index and more. This allowed me to process high volumes of samples with confidence and time to spare for other tasks."

"The NC-202 has proven to be an outstanding cell counter which is easy to use and very accurate. While previous cell counters that our laboratory used often times showed significant variability in their count data, the NC-202 has provided stability and accurately reproducible data that has improved our workflow. One of the best features of the NC-202 are its cassettes, which are in and of themselves standalone "pipettes", which allow you to directly aspirate your cells (in medium) into the cassette. These cassettes contain the necessary dyes (Acridine Orange and DAPI) to stain your Live/Dead cell population, without the need of Trypan Blue. This makes counting cells very convenient, and is especially useful if you have a lot of cell lines you must count in a short time frame. The NC View software which comes with the NC-202 is also very easy to use. It's very clean and effective as far as its user interface, and provides a nice array of options for assessing the condition of your cell population. ChemoMetec really thought deeply about user-friendliness when it came to their software, and that is something I greatly appreciate when you are trying to generate data rapidly and efficiently. Finally, the sales, training, and customer services representatives from ChemoMetec were absolutely outstanding. They provided a fantastic overview of the NC-202 when I first became interested in it, and were always happy to help answer any questions or inquiries I had about the machine. Sales and Technical support personnel really went out of their way to provide outstanding service when I needed it. Overall, the NC-202 is a great product, and I recommend it to any laboratory that needs a reliable, trustworthy cell counter."

"Consistent results. Very easy to use."

"Extremely accurate and reproducible results. Machine is also very easy to use and have had no teething problems whatsoever."

"We use the device to measure the parameters of insect cells (Sf9 line). The great advantage of the instrument is the speed of analysis, simple operation and operation that does not require regular replacement of reagents. The dyes are immobilized on the Via2-Cassette, which allows intuitive sample processing and minimizes errors. E.g. if air bubbles can be sucked in due to incorrect handling, a warning is displayed in the software. The software allows you to enter the sample name, dilution factor, operator name everything you need today. Data can be easily and intuitively browsed, exported eg to .pdf. The results of the last few measurements are displayed on the home screen. We do not use the DebrisIndex function very much, it serves us more as a measure of gentle treatment of cell culture. The manufacturer offers standard qualifications (IQ, OQ) for the device. For control measurements, it is possible to purchase a PQ set, which will allow checking the function of the device."

"This is a fantastic instrument. It performs cell counts quicker than any counter I've ever used! No sample prep required, just load a cartridge, load it in the system and hit go. With tricky aggregated samples, the lysis method beats any cell counter I've used before, I can't recommend the NC-202 more!"

"I have previously used other counters from ChemoMetec so it was very quick and easy for me to get used to the NC-202. After carrying out a linearity study we were able to show that we got more reliable, reproducible and accurate data compared to the other instrument we were assessing. We tend to work with small volumes and the NC-202 is able to work reliably and reproducibly within our ranges. The ease of use makes it more streamlined to carry out our experiments and we are able to save on both labour and time resources making it great value for money. The after sales care has been great, they have checked in to see if there is anything we needed. However, everything is working well so we have not needed anything but it is good to know that they are there should we need anything."

"Easy to use, data is easy to copy and move to excel. I believe the data, because in the pilot set up I counted manually and at the same time used the nucleocounter. The same values were achieved using each method. I prefer to use the nucleocounter because it is very easy and very friendly to use. All data is easy to move to excel for more calculating for the FLOW analysis. If the data wasn't credible, we wouldn't be able to believe our data from FLOW. But all data from FLOW answered our hypotheses and confirmed our experimental setup. The Nucleocounter from ChemoMetec ia our winner in our experimental set ups. Without the Nucleocounter we're lost and I would need to apend several hours counting cells manually. Spares my body and gives credible data, thank you so much!"

"It easy to use and to maintain. The company is great with after sale care, they handle any problems with the machine quickly and effectively."
