Automated Cell Counting via Flow Cytometry

Cell counting is an often overlooked, yet critical basis for experiments and production processes. Methodology for cell counting spans multiple technologies that include fluidic-based systems or immobilized slide-based techniques. These methods range from manual to fully automated counting, depending on the device. While there are numerous options available, consistency and reproducibility often fall short. Especially manual counting techniques can be extremely variable with coefficients of variation (CV) as high as 27%.
