Description

General description
Scepter™ 3.0 handheld automated cell counter provides a fast and convenient method for counting cells and particles and is compatible with both the 40 and 60uM sensor. The system employs the Coulter principle in a miniaturized, handheld format enabling rapid cell counting; what used to take 10 minutes now takes less than 30 seconds. The user prepares a dilution of the cell culture of interest and uses the Scepter™ cell counter to aspirate a sample of this dilution into the Scepter sensor.

The Scepter cell counter’s screen displays:

• Cell concentration
• Average cell size
• Average cell volume
• Histogram of size or volume distribution

This system is intended for research use only and has been tested with cell types representative of those in use today. The Scepter™ 3.0 Cell Counter delivers rapid cell counts in a handheld easy to use format. Its on-screen instructions guide you through the sampling process. In less than 30 seconds, it reveals data on cell concentration, average diameter, average volume and a histogram displaying population information on your culture. The device can store up to 999 counts. You can download the data to your computer and upload it for further manipulation. FREE PACK OF 40μM Sensors included.
