Benefits
Easy operation – as simple as 1-2-3
Very little time is required for the training of the operator
30 sec. analysis time
Calibration free
1. No calibration to cell type as the variation in cell size and DNA content of somatic cells is within the range of the NucleoCounter SCC-100
2. No calibration to volume, as every single analysis volume is exactly known since the thickness of the measurement chamber of each SCC Cassette is measured during production and coded with black dots on each Cassette. The NucleoCounter SCC-100 reads the code accurately determining the analysed volume in each measurement.
3. Durable optical components make the NucleoCounter SCC-100 calibration free through out its lifetime
No cleaning
The SCC Cassette contains the entire flow system (pump, tubings, mixer, reagents and waste container) as well as the measurement chamber. As the SCC Cassette is discarded after use this means neither cleaning nor maintenance of the NucleoCounter SCC-100 is needed
Maintenance and service free
No maintance as the NucleoCounter SCC-100 is made of very durable and stable components. The optics, mechanics and electronics has negligible thermal and aging drift properties.
The light source and the linear actuator have been tested to last for >1,000,000 samples.
No service is needed as no calibration, cleaning nor replacement of components is necessary
Portable/compact
The weight of the NucleoCounter SCC-100 is 3 kg and the size: 38 x 26 x 22 cm (W x H x D) which makes it easy to move around with.
Safe handling and disposal of the milk sample and reagent
After analysis the milk sample and the PI is contained inside the cassette, which can be safely discarded.
Excellent reproducibility
Results from different NucleoCounter SCC-100s can be directly compared:
1.All NucleoCounter SCC-100s are calibrated to respond as the same Master NucleoCounter SCC-100 at ChemoMetec.
2.The initial calibration will maintain throughout the lifetime of a NucleoCounter SCC-100.
Objective somatic cell count
Automation eliminates the subjective judgement of the operator. The NucleoCounter SCC-100 somatic cell count is therefore an objective and operator-independent count.
Small sample volume
Only about 50 μl of sample mixture is loaded into the SCC Cassette. It is possible to perform an accurate and precise estimate of the somatic cell concentration with only a very small milk sample consumption.
Documentation
SemenView software is ideal for data and image processing and for documentation.
