NucleoCounter® NC-200™ automated cell counter by ChemoMetec

"The product has become an essential component of our lab. It is easy to use and lets us perform our experiments in an accurate manner. Follow up technical support has also been excellent."

"I really enjoy using the NC-200 and its bigger sibling the NC-3000. The systems are very straightforward and easy to use. Moreover, the simple design of the instruments means that frequent maintenance is not a necessity. Very practical!"

"The NC-200 is an easy and accurate machine for all cell countings we perform in our lab. The purchase of this machine made our life in the lab easier and less uncomfortable."

"The instrument is very user-friendly. The CVs between multiple readings of the same sample are great. The fact that the instrument is calibration-free makes maintenance very easy."

"The product is working well and is easy to use. Service is very responsive. We had an issue with our NC-200 located in Toulouse and it only took a few days to resolve! My contacts always answer quickly and are always disposed to help. The only point to improve is that IQ/OQ and PQ kit can be sold only with intervention which is quite expensive."

"Easy to use product, worth the money! Save a lot of time compared to regular trypan blue count. I truly recommend it!"

"ONK Therapeutics is an innovative cell therapy company dedicated to developing a next generation of off-the-shelf, dual-targeted NK cell therapy platform targeting solid and haematological cancers. We are equipped with all best-in-class equipment and plan to submit 3+ INDs in the span of next 2 years. ChemoMetec NC®-200™ is a new addition to our cutting-edge laboratory equipment. NK cells present problems when it comes to counting. They can clump and are prone to changing morphology upon activation and during expansion. These issues result in difficulty obtaining a reliable cell count. Seeking a robust methodology for cell counting we tested NC-200 and are very happy with its consistent and reliable results. The ChemoMetec team have been wonderful and have provided us with all the assistance required for the setup. We found the team to be very approachable and friendly when we sought technical help. We look forward to their service and long-lasting collaboration. Thank you Annemieke, Marcela and Kimberley for all the support. The ONK team really appreciates the effort and supports the great work of ChemoMetec."

"Using the NC-200 instrument and software is simple and straight forward for the operator, in both R&D and GMP environments. The added security features and automation routines of the software make this system very data integrity-compliant. Results are reliable within the instrument's design range and can be achieved within seconds, no pipetting of sample and reagents required thanks to the VIA-1 cassette. Of course this adds a slight premium to the price per measurement vs the NC-250 system. The department has been using this system for 6 years now on a daily basis and the system has proved to be very reliable and ChemoMetec's support is very responsive, detailed and accurate - outstanding indeed."

"I think the NucleoCounter is very robust and easy to use. I appreciate the reproducibility of the results. The only problem we have run into is that we now and then have failed in filling the whole cassette with sample so we have had to redo that, but it feels comforting that it is easily spotted when this happens. Take care to avoid bubbles and keep the cassette in an upright position when filling to minimize problems. The double staining of the cells gives a much more reliable result of both cell concentration and viability of the cells than the method we've used before, and this is very important for the downstream applications we use it for."

"Very quick and easy to take cell counts, with reproducible results. Communications with sales and technical support questions are always answered quickly, support is excellent."

"The NucleoCounter is a standard for cell counting in the cell therapy world. The instrument is really easy to use but the software does take some time to get a little familiar with it if you are a new user. After a few times using the software it does become second nature. The equipment is easy to train staff on and it is reliable in getting results."

"High quality results, very quick and easy to use, minimal maintenance due to lack of fluidics and closed system model. The best method for cell counting I have experienced."

"We have 4 instruments and all have proved to be highly reliable, producing consistent results. The assays are quick and all operators are able to use the instruments with ease. The support from ChemoMetec is fantastic. We always get quick replies to queries and they are always happy to help. Engineers are great and are on site quickly when we require routine servicing and maintenance. I would highly recommend the NC-200 instrument and ChemoMetec."

"We used to use microscopes, now our cell counting is much faster and more reproducible."

"It is easy to use, gives results quickly and accurately."
