Cell counters are tools for counting live and/or dead cells in a culture. Any researcher who works in a cell culture hood needs some sort of cell counting solution, whether to determine cell concentration prior to cell passage, or to assess cell viability following drug treatment. The C100 from RWD is a perfect cell counting option for any lab and is appropriate for a variety of samples, including mammalian cells, stem cells, blood cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and more. The RWD automated cell counter uses microscopy with auto-focus technology that analyzes and counts cells in less than 20 seconds. Without requiring user input, the sophisticated cell counting algorithm uses the image acquired to detect cells and omit debris, to provide an accurate total cell count. The auto-focusing feature means all users of this system can expect reproducible cell counts with reduced variability compared to manual hemocytometer counts and cell counters with manual focus.
