NC family

The NucleoCounter Family is comprised of four Cell Counters:
  NucleoCounter - for Mammalian Cells
  NucleoCounter YC-100 - for Yeast Cells (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
  NucleoCounter SP-100 - for Sperm Cells
  NucleoCounter SCC-100 - for Somatic Cells

The NucleoCounter Instrument is the first commercially available instrument, based on ChemoMetec's technique. The principle of the technique is the well-known method of fluorescence microscopy, implemented in a small, highly advanced fluorescence microscope combined with a CCD camera and image analysis. The fluorescence microscope is designed to detect signals from the fluorescence dye propidium iodide, which stains the DNA of cell nuclei.

The NucleoCounter concept is characterised by fast, precise and objective cell counting with an instrument, which requires no calibration, cleaning nor maintenance.
