Cell Counting Kit 30 dual-chambered slides 60 counts with trypan blue #1450003

Description

The Bio-Rad Cell Counting Kit provides a manual method for determining cell concentration and assessing viability in culture. It contains 30 slides, each featuring two separate counting chambers, allowing for a total of 60 individual sample analyses. Each chamber is pre-loaded with trypan blue stain, a dye that penetrates the membranes of non-viable cells, coloring them blue and providing visual contrast against unstained, live cells when viewed with a standard microscope. This dual-chamber design streamlines workflow by enabling duplicate counts or the processing of two different samples on a single slide. The kit is intended for routine laboratory use in monitoring cell culture health, calculating accurate seeding densities for experiments, and evaluating treatment effects on cell survival. The pre-formulated, consistent slides help standardize the counting procedure across users and experiments.
