Employing best practices is essential for ensuring accurate and representative cell counts. This document explains the key factors that researchers should understand when using the CellDrop Automated Cell Counter.
A detailed description of how to optimize the AOPI or Custom Methods Applications for counting plant protoplasts on the DeNovix CellDrop™ FL Automated Cell Counter in conjunction with fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide(PI) fluorescent dyes.
Many yeast samples from brewing contain extracellular debris and are small in size, making them difficult to count using a traditional hemocytometer or brightfield cell counter. This technical note will provide the information needed to accurately count yeast concentration and viability using the fluorescent dyes fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide (PI).
This video demonstrates effective use of the protocol settings of the CellDrop™ Automated Cell Counter to optimize performance for a wide range of cell types.
In the latest article, Denovix explores the general principles and limitations of cell counting with trypan blue in greater depth. Read more.
The use of trypan blue can be problematic for counting cells and assessing viability in some sample types where debris or non-nucleated cells can interfere. The DeNovix Acridine Orange (Ao) / Propidium Iodide (PI) fluorescence assay is a simple, accurate alternative. Comparative data is presented here.
Manual cell counting with a hemocytometer can be challenging for several reasons. In this blog post, DeNovix explores these issues in more depth.
The NIST has proposed a robust method to assess cell counting linearity and reproducibility. This technical note presents data for the CellDrop using this method and compares results to manually cell counting.
GFP is a common marker for transfection in biological systems. In order to assess transfection success it is important to optimize cell counting settings. this technical note provides a detailed protocol for optimizing the CellDrop GFP Count App.
In this blog post, we will go through each of the individual protocol criteria of our automated cell counters to show how they affect cell counting.
