The Cell Counter model R1 automated cell counter is designed to reduce workloads and to standardize the cell counting process. Its unique software algorithm recognizes small cells < 8μm including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and nerve cells differentiated and induced from iPS cells. It automatically recognizes and counts individual cells even in clustered cells, performs size- and shape-based sorting, and identifies live/dead cells. This portable instrument equipped with user-friendly touchscreen provides reliable result throughout the cell culture workflow and accelerates the cell culture process.

Exclusive Software Designed for Accurate Cell Counting

Accurate Counting Even with Clustered Cells

Since cells are properly identified regardless of whether they are single or clustered, live or dead, the number of cells can be accurately counted with almost the same accuracy as counting with the human eye.

Cell Size-Based Gates for Excluding Undesired Particles

The average size of the cells varies depending on cell type. The maximum and minimum cell size can be adjusted to correctly detect the desired cells. 

Accurate Counting Even with Small Cells
Live Cell Sensitivity function enables optimization of the recognition rate for small cells < 8μm, which was previously difficult to achieve.

Individual Protocol Setting for Routine Procedures

Each detection parameter can be modified to fit the sample conditions. Up to 300 specific protocols can be easily saved and reloaded, which helps to obtain quick counting results for routine procedures.

Automatic Dilution Calculator for a Quick Transfer to Subsequent Procedures

By setting the desired concentrations, the dilution calculator automatically calculates the volume of cell suspension needed, which makes for a quick transfer to the subsequent procedures.

More Efficient Counting without Trypan Blue Staining
The Cell Counter can quickly count and present the total number of cells in a sample without Tryptan blue. When an approximate proportion of live/dead cells in the sample is known, the number of live cells can be roughly estimated, allowing for a faster procedure.

Accurate Cell Counting Undisturbed by Trypan Blue Concentration
Thanks to the newly equipped Auto Exposure Mode, variations in Trypan Blue concentration are automatically corrected, allowing for stable count results.

More Efficient Data Management
The Cell Counter automatically stores up to 1,000 counts. The data can then be exported as a CSV file. Also, the counted results and image data can be stored as a TIFF, an annotated TIFF, or a PDF report file. Moreover, these data can easily be transferred to other storage devices through the USB ports equipped with the Cell Counter.

Comprehensive Report Results at a Glance

The report files can be obtained easily, containing the protocol used, the cell count results, the corresponding raw/ analyzed cell images, and histograms. There is no need to write down detailed settings for each cell count. Also, on the review mode, various reports can be viewed all at once on the touchscreen, including the numbers of live/ dead cells, average cell size.

Innovative Autofocusing Liquid Lens Technology

Quick and Reliable Focusing Mechanism

The Cell Counter focuses on cells quickly and automatically using liquid lens technology, similar to the way human eyes focus, and provides the accuracy and reliability of cell counting. The lens can autofocus in the Z-axis direction at the right position, producing more accurate counting results and increasing the accuracy and reliability of cell counting.

User-Friendly Design

Portable Design
The handle on the top of the counter makes it easy to transport the Cell Counter, and allows it to fit any workplace setting. A storage space for the AC adapter is conveniently built into the back of the counter. An extension cord can be stored easily with no hassle.

Cost Efficient Disposable Slides
By using disposable counting slides specifically designed for the Cell Counter, cells are easily placed through the loading slits on the slide. Since two sets of cell counting are performed on one slide, cost saving measures are achieved.

User-Friendly Touchscreen

Designed with usability in mind, the Cell Counter comes as a standalone automated cell counter with a steady operation platform. The stability of the large touchscreen at the lower part of the Cell Counter makes it possible to easily and smoothly count cells, view data, and print the results.
