Transmitted Light Image analysis for Cell Count and Assessment of Cytotoxicity Effects
27 Mar 2019Numerous biological applications require monitoring of cell number, cell health, confluency, and proliferation during multiple time points without fluorescent markers or other labels. In particular, there is an increased need for reliable and efficient cell counting methods to assess a variety of cell responses when monitoring cells with transmitted light (TL) imaging.

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.
