GelCount 2: Taking the strain out of colony, spheroid and organoid counting
10 Feb 2026In this product brochure, Oxford Optronix demonstrates how the GelCount 2, a second-generation imaging and analysis platform, can take the strain out of 3D colony, spheroid and organoid counting. With over 500 scientific citations to its name the original GelCount has become a benchmark for biologists around the globe. GelCount 2 introduces a revised design, faster processing, and a more intuitive user experience.

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.
