Cell Counting

Counting is something we are all familiar with but it’s not always as simple as one, two, three. Measuring the concentration of cells in suspension is a common but surprisingly complex task in cell biology that is easy to get wrong. This article explores ten factors that can influence cell counting, gives advice on how to improve accuracy, and dispels some commonly held myths.

Most problems with misaligned printouts on the printer supplied with the TC20 and TC10 cell counters can be solved by cleaning the print heads. In this short video, find out the fast, easy, and effective way to clean these print heads so you can get back to your research!

Bio-Rad’s new TC20 automated cell counter is compatible with broad range of cell sizes and types such as cell lines, primary cells (from tissue or blood), and stem cells.

This report demonstrates that the TC10 automated cell counter is a suitable alternative to the Coulter Counter and hemocytometer for the preparation of custom Bio-Plex assays.

This tech report presents the results of a comparative study between the TC10 automated cell counter and the classical LDH assay to measure cell viability in suspension cells. Results show that the TC10 cell counter can replace the LDH assay to measure both the viability of cell suspensions and the cytotoxic effects of various compounds.
