The Countess™ Automated Cell Counter is a benchtop automated cell counter. It can perform cell counts as well as viability and cell calculations. The Countess has a touch screen display and allows data to be transferred via USB drive to a computer for data access and storage.
Automated cell counters are used for calculating the concentration of cells for adjusting molecular biology experiment reagents, examining the growth rate of microorganisms, and calculating the fraction of dead to live cells to measure cell viability.
