DeNovix launches new CellDrop model

DeNovix has released a new model in the CellDrop Automated Cell Counter range, with enhanced performance and new cell counting applications

9 Sept 2024

Product news

DeNovix has lauched the new CellDrop™ FLi Automated Cell Counter, the latest update to the CellDrop™ range.

The new CellDrop FLi includes enhanced hardware for improved cell counting performance, along with six new cell counting applications including fixed samples, hepatocytes and Erythrosin B. Two apps for counting fixed samples are among the new pre-installed cell counting applications. Fixed cells and fixed nuclei apps were developed to equip scientists to streamline their quality control using as little as 2.5 µL of sample.

Using advanced machine-learning techniques, DeNovix scientists developed an automated proprietary software algorithm for the CellDrop to deliver fast, reliable hepatocyte counts. The algorithm uses brightfield and dual channel fluorescence to count live/dead hepatocytes as well as identify lymphocytes, free nuclei, and debris objects within a sample.

Additionally, DeNovix has developed three applications for measuring tissue culture, primary cells, and nuclei with Erythrosin B viability dye. Erythrosin B is a biosafe and non-toxic colorimetric dye that can be used as an alternative to Trypan Blue. The addition to the CellDrop software provides a more environmentally friendly option for scientists measuring viability with brightfield.

The new software update is now available for download on all current CellDrop units. DeNovix also offers a free trial program, which allows users to evaluate the CellDrop FLi and the new counting applications in their lab.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.

Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
