⇒ technique. Using the same amount of sample that you currently use with the hemocytometer, the system takes less than 20 seconds per sample for a typical cell count and is compatible with a wide variety of eukaryotic cells and provides information on cell size.

⇒ differentiate between cells in a limited concentration range in the hemocytometer chamber. This combined with the potential problem of cell aggregation and limited sample volume leads to the common variation of counts normally associated with this method. ADAM utilizes sensitive fluorescence dye staining, LED optics and CCD detection technologies to make the cell analysis more accurate and reliable.
