Cell Counter
Introduction
A Cell Counter quantifies cells in suspension to standardize experiments, assess viability, and monitor culture growth across research, clinical, and pharmaceutical labs. Choosing the right Cell Counter improves accuracy, throughput, and reproducibility in modern workflows.
What Is Cell Counter?
A cell counter is a laboratory device or software-enabled instrument that determines cell concentration and, often, viability (live vs. dead) in a sample volume. Platforms range from manual hemocytometers used under a microscope to automated instruments leveraging imaging, fluorescence, electrical impedance, or flow cytometry to deliver fast, objective, and repeatable results.
