Rapid Assessment of Size Changes Using the Scepter<sup>TM</sup>Cell Counter can be Predictive of Cell Death
13 Jun 2011This application note describes a cell counting device used for the analysis of cells undergoing apoptosis. The ScepterTM handheld, automated cell counter from Millipore uses impedance-based particle detection to reliably and precisely count every cell in a sample. Precise volumes of single-cell suspensions are drawn into the sensor at the end of the Scepter device. Using NIH 3T3 and CHO cells, Millipore demonstrate that the relationship between apoptosis and cell volume depends on cell type and a specific apoptosis-inducing agent.

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.
