Nexcelom Bioscience Enhances Cellometer Vision with Fluorescence Optics Modules

Nexcelom Bioscience, a company specializing in cell-based assay devices, has enhanced the Cellometer Vision imaging cell analyzer and counter with customizable fluorescence optics modules. The Cellometer Vision is suitable for laboratories operating with cells tagged with various fluorescent labels.

The fluorescence-based imaging device enables users to modify and replace the two fluorescence optics modules with another module. This feature allows scientists to conduct experiments by utilizing desirable fluorescent labels with wide spectrum of emission and excitation wavelengths.

The Cellometer Vision combines one or two fluorescence colors and brightfield microscopy to analyze and count cells with the help of data analysis and image processing algorithms. To create reliable viability results, various fluorescent dyes can be utilized to stain the cells and to offer clear cell declustering. Usually, fluorescent dyes used in for this process are propidium iodide, ethidium bromide, acridine orange, and DAPI. The use of the Cellometer Vision provides benefits for several complex cell samples such as primary cells. The fluorescence optics modules are available in seven models for the Cellometer Vision.
