CellDrop Cell Counters
CellDrop Cell Counters
Count Cells Without Slides™
CellDrop Automated Cell Counters feature patented DirectPipette™ technology to eliminate plastic slides and cumbersome hemocytometers from routine cell counting. CellDrop Cell Counters feature dual fluorescence and brightfield optics, variable height sample chamber, and powerful, easy-to-use analysis software. The instruments enable the fastest cell counts, viability assessment, and GFP transfection efficiency measurements across the widest range of cell density, cell type and application. CellDrop is rated five stars by scientists world-wide and was awarded Best New Life Science Product of the Year!
DirectPipette™ Technology
The CellDrop Automated Cell Counter Series brings the familiar Load, Measure & Wipe Clean functionality of microvolume spectrophotometers to cell counting. Traditional plastic slides or glass hemocytometers are replaced by two permanent optical sapphire surfaces. These are positioned parallel to one another by a calibration-free, high-precision mechanism, forming a chamber of precisely defined height. 10µL of cell suspension is pipetted into the chamber, analyzed and simply wiped away with a dry laboratory wipe. The powerful live-view image allows instant verification that cleaning has been successful.
Accurate Across the Widest Range of Cell Size and Density
Using conventional counting methods, samples with high or low cell densities require time consuming dilution or concentration steps. The variable height chamber of the CellDrop Automated Cell Counters enables the most accurate counts over the widest cell densities – 7 x 102 – 2.5 x 107. Chamber height can also be adjusted to accommodate almost any cell with a diameter range of 4 to 400µm.
Easy to Learn. Powerful to Use.
Designed by life scientists, the CellDrop EasyApps™ software exceeds the functionality of high cost cell counters while also delivering the ease-of-use of simpler systems. EasyApps and the high definition, 7″ touchscreen interface provides intuitive cell counting, from sample loading to data exporting in seconds. Pre-installed applications include a range of common applications for one-touch analysis of assays such as Brightfield, Trypan blue, AO/PI, GFP and Yeast and the ability to create custom methods. CellDrop Cell Counters are a flexible workhorse for the busy, multi-user lab.
21 CFR Part 11 Compliance Ready
EasyApps Secure provides an optional suite of software controls that allow regulated GxP facilities to easily add CellDrop to their cell counting workflow (view the compliance statement). The software is fully integrated within the on-board operating system and includes a range of features essential to ensuring compliance, including:
- Password protected system access
- Integrated electronic signature controls
- Comprehensive user account management
- Secure audit trail recording
