Countess™ 3 FL Automated Cell Counter Starter Package
Manufacturer: Thermo Fisher Scientific
SKU: A49866
Description
The Countess 3 FL Automated Cell Counter Starter Package from Thermo Fisher Scientific is a benchtop instrument designed for cell culture analysis. This system combines automated focusing and illumination with advanced optics to provide rapid cell counting and analysis. Its software utilizes machine-learning algorithms to ensure consistent results across various cell types, including primary cultures and established lines. The instrument supports both brightfield and dual-channel fluorescence imaging, enabling applications such as cell enumeration, viability assessment using dyes like trypan blue, and monitoring of fluorescent protein expression. The starter package includes the main counter unit (Catalog AMQAF2000), EVOS GFP and RFP fluorescence light cubes, a reusable slide, and 500 single-use slides pre-loaded with trypan blue. It is designed to operate in ambient laboratory environments with a temperature range of 4°C to 32°C (40°F to 90°F).
