Eve – Automatic trypan blue cell counter

Technology

The EVE™ automatic cell counter uses state-of-the-art optics and image analysis for automatic cell counting. It is a benchtop counter designed to measure cell count and viability (live, dead, and total cells) accurately and precisely, using the standard trypan blue… ⇒ 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

Description

Procedure

A single, sample measurement in less than 30 seconds produces the following results:

  • Live and dead cell concentration/mL
  • Total cell concentration/mL
  • Viability (% live cells to total cells)
  • Mean diameter
  • Cell images
  • Graphical data representation

Trypan blue staining

Trypan blue is a vital diazo dye stain used to selectively colour dead tissues or cells blue. Live cells or tissues with intact cell membranes are not coloured. Since cells are very selective in the compounds that pass through the membrane, in a viable cell trypan blue is not absorbed; however, it traverses the membrane in a dead cell.

Hence, dead cells are shown as a distinctive blue colour under a microscope. Since live cells are excluded from staining, this staining method is also described as a dye exclusion method.

EVE™ is supplied with disposable cell counting chamber slides that contain two enclosed chambers to hold the sample to allow you to measure two different samples or perform replicates of the same sample. The cell counting occurs in the central location of the counting chamber and the volume counted is 0.4µL, the same as counting four (1 mm x 1 mm) squares in a standard hemocytometer

Applications & Benefits

Focused design

Designed to measure cell count and viability (live, dead, and total cells) accurately and precisely, using the standard trypan blue technique.

Speed

Using the same amount of sample that is currently used with the hemocytometer, the EVE™ takes less than 20 seconds per sample for a typical cell count

Usability

Provides data for broad range of cell sizes and types. Primary (tissue, blood) cell lines and stem cells. Measures cell concentrations ranging from 1 x 104 to 1 x 107 cells/mL and cells with sizes ranging from 5 µm to 60 µm

User friendlyness

Intuitive user interface. 7 inch LCD touch screen, Bench top size, No maintenance needed.

Reproducibility and sensitivity

The cell counting occurs in the central location of the counting chamber and the volume counted is 0.4 µL, the same as counting four (1 mm x 1 mm) squares in a standard hemocytometer

No cross contamination

Uses disposable cell counting slides that eliminate washing steps and cross contamination between samples.

Data storage and analysis

Stores 500 test results, transfer the data to PC using USB drive. PC based software provided for in-depth analysis. Presents comprehensive data with graphical reports and as a . CSV(comma separated value) file for sample comparisons

Differentiation of clumped cells

Provides the clumping cell counting function to get more accurate counting results with an advanced analysis algorithm in clumped cell

Cell size gating

Select range of cell sizes using gating function
