Scepter™ 3.0 Handheld Automated Cell Counter
Introduction
The Scepter™ 3.0 Handheld Automated Cell Counter (“Scepter™ 3.0”) provides a fast and convenient method for counting cells or particles using a disposable sensor. Using the Coulter Principle, the Scepter™ 3.0 does all the work and rapidly delivers accurate and reliable cell counts. The Scepter™ 3.0 quantifies cells based on size and discriminates larger cells from smaller debris, unlike vision-based techniques, which rely on object recognition software and cannot reliably detect small cells. A sample of interest is diluted, then acquired using a precision-engineered, microfluidic Scepter™ 3.0 disposable sensor. In seconds, Scepter™ 3.0 displays cell concentration, cell diameter or volume measurements, along with a histogram of cell distribution. Up to 999 histograms can be stored in the instrument. The Scepter™ 3.0 has a wireless network interface which allows you to send histograms and data files to your Wi-Fi® printer or computer easily. No more cables. The new Charging Station stores Scepter™ 3.0 out-of-theway when not in use, freeing up valuable hood or lab bench space.
