The Stem Cell Research and Technology Resource Center will be demoing two different fluorescence automated cell counters on Tuesday, Feb. 25, from 1:30-2:30pm, in Porter B254. Both systems can do normal trypan blue counting as well as flourescence options.
The two systems are:
- Nexcelom's Cellometer K2: https://www.nexcelom.com/nexcelom-products/cellometer-fluorescent-viability-cell-counters/cellometer-k2-fluorescent-viability-cell-counter/ The system is equipped with dual channel fluorescence for simple and accurate viability using AO/PI. It can also be used for cell based assays including Apoptosis, Cell Cycle, GFP transfection, and Vitality.
- ThermoFisher Scientific's Countess II FL: https://www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-science/cell-analysis/cell-analysis-instruments/automated-cell-counters/countess-ii-fl-automated-cell-counter.html It will be set up with GFP/RFP/DAPI filters.
Please send me an email if you plan on bringing cell samples to test so that I can best coordinate the demos.
