Counting PBMCs using the Corning Cell Counter: A brightfield alternative to manual counting

23 Aug 2020

In this application note, Corning Life Sciences explains how the Corning® Cell Counter is designed for accurate peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) counting, and is intended as a replacement method for manual counting with a hemocytometer.

Corning® Cell Counter

Corning Life Sciences

For years, the choice between manual and automated cell counting has been a difficult one. Manual cell counting, on the one hand, is accurate, but time-consuming and very user-dependent. Automated cell counting, is much faster and less user-dependent, but the cost of disposable counting slides can be an issue. A tough choice, but now there is a solution.The new Corning Cell Counter is the first automated cell counter that combines the best of both worlds. It is: Fast – thanks to its online image processing Accurate – thanks to its cloud-based machine learning algorithm. Low-cost – works with common reusable glass hemocytometer. No consumables required.See resource tab below for specifications."

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. 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.

Blood samples can be tested for a number of different reasons such as diagnosis, glucose levels, cholesterol and drug testing.Cell BiologyCell biology studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. Understanding cellular processes is essential for research in areas such as cancer biology, stem cell research, and neurobiology. Techniques like flow cytometry, microscopy, and cell culture enable researchers to explore cellular mechanisms in detail.
