The Scepter™ 3.0 handhled automated cell counter provides the unparalleled precision of Coulter impedance counting in a convenient, handheld format. Newest version of the Scepter™ cell counter has been updated with features that make it more convenient, easy-to-use, and accurate.
Coulter impedance method which avoids common artifacts arising from image-based cell counting methods
Does not rely on user technique or manual calculation for accuracy
Counts thousands of cells per measurement for maximum precision
Unique ergonomic design, convenient for measurements and storage at the tissue culture hood
Returns precision counts in <30 seconds
Requires no sample prep, dedicated reagents, or hazardous dyes
Requires no cleaning protocol to maintain operation
Can be used to monitor cell health between measurements, passages and batches using size and morphology.
The Scepter™ sensors use precision microfluidics to measure the electrical impedance of individual cells. This technology gives on-demand outputs of cell volume, cell diameter and cell concentration all within the cell culture hood.
