Cell counting
Cell counting is made easy.
On this page
We will explain the challenges most labs face working with cell counting and show you how easy it is to fix these problems, whether you need to switch from manual to automated or are looking for improvements in your automated cell counting workflow.

Cell counting challenges
Your time spent at the lab is valuable. You don't want to waste this precious time on the cell counting and viability control step and have poor results.
If you're ready to fix errors posed by poor cell counting and would like to know the best tools available, read our blogs below.

Our approach to cell counting
Analyzing your cell count and viability manually can be tedious and inconsistent. When you continue your experiments after culturing the cells and subjecting them to various conditions, you must know what you are working with. Are your cells viable? How many cells in the culture died? How many cells do you have to continue working with? A simple and inexpensive device can make your life much easier and give you the consistent counts you wish for. So that is what we did. We scavenged the world to find compatible, affordable, and reliable cell counter equipment and reagents.
Regarding objectivity, reproducibility, and accuracy, machines equipped for the task perform the proper quality control to move your research or product development to the next phase. And, on top of that, help reallocate your time to concentrate on relevant work.
Let's be honest: unreliable and biased counts frustrate downstream applications. It is crucial to measure cells accurately to fulfill your functionality studies like cell imaging, CRISPR/Cas genome editing, protein production, cell morphology studies, drug testing, and other studies. We have just the right solutions for you.
How to overcome cell counting stain toxicity?
When you say cell counting you think trypan blue. Do you know Trypan blue is carcinogenic? Fortunately, a safe alternative is available.
Which cell counter matches my needs?
You never want to go back to manual cell counting. Once you get used to high standard data generated with a click. Expensive? nothing is less true
