Nexcelom Cellometer vs hemacytometer

Invalid Asset URL

Of course you do not want to change your counting procedures; with the Cellometer, you won't have to.

The Nexcelom counting chambers and counting protocol have been constructed in such a way that they give the same number of cells as a hemacytometer counting would...
Only much, much faster.

The graph shows a typical set of cell concentrations comparing Cellometer AutoT4 measurements with the traditional hemacytometer. This data set was taken on various concentrations of Neuroblastoma.

Cellometer distinguishes between cells and debris

The Cellometer T4 uses an automated system for counting cells, and can distinguish between cells and debris, and between different cell types.

Moreover, the Cellometer is not fooled by clumps of cells or irregular cell shapes:
The software lets allows you to set the expected size distribution, and thus determine which cells to count in heterogeneous samples.
