Vi-CELL BLU Cell Viability Analyzer
Manufacturer: Beckman Coulter Life Sciences
SKU: Vi-CELL BLU
Description
The Vi-CELL BLU Cell Viability Analyzer from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences automates cell viability assessment using the trypan blue dye exclusion method. This instrument is designed to analyze particles within a size range of 2 to 60 micrometers. It requires a sample volume between 170 and 200 microliters, depending on the operational mode selected. Users can introduce samples via a 24-position carousel or a 96-well microplate, providing flexibility for different workflow scales. The system automates sample preparation, analysis, and post-run cleaning procedures. It reports viability data as a percentage, along with cell concentration and total count. Designed with data integrity in mind, the analyzer includes features such as an audit trail, electronic signatures, and user-level permissions to support compliance with regulations like 21 CFR Part 11. Its compact dimensions are 42 cm wide by 54 cm deep by 45 cm high.
