The NucleoCounter® SP-100™ sperm cell counter offers unique ease of use and effective determination of total sperm concentration and viability in semen samples from ejaculates or extended doses. The NucleoCounter® SP-100™ is very simple to operate and the measurements can be performed by operators with only limited training in laboratory work.

The XcytoMatic® 40 (XM40™) is a high-throughput cell density and viability analyzer that can run 24 samples in under 14 minutes. The variation between cell counts for these samples is under 3%. If scale-out and scale-up is a concern, you can trust each XM40™ instrument in your production to deliver the same quality results.
