Revolutionary Automated Full-Spectrum Fluorescence Microscope for Advanced Cell Analysis
Apr 16 2010
Sartorius Stedim Biotech announced the introduction of ChemoMetec’s NucleoCounter® NC-3000™, a user-friendly system for fast and precise automated detection of cells by specific counting of nuclei giving reproducible and accurate counts. The NucleoCounter NC-3000 is an automated full-spectrum fluorescence microscope that offers a wide array of reliable and user-friendly assays with integrated collection, analysis and reporting of data. Validated for mammalian, yeast, insect and fish cells, the NucleoCounter NC-3000 is designed for applications including viability and cell count, cell cycle assay, mitochondrial potential assay, vitality assay, quantification of fluorescence intensity, fluorescence measurements from violet to far red, DNA fragmentation assay and GFP transfection efficiency assay. It will be of interest to those working in areas such as stem cell research, cell counting and viability, apoptosis and cancer, vaccine production, gene expression as well as transfection and cell cycle studies.
The system is easy to set up with no special training needed; users simply prepare the sample, load it into the NC-3000 and choose the required assay. It is also extremely fast with an analysis time of 15-60 seconds (1μl sample) – this enables a complete viability assay to be performed within two minutes – including sample handling. Unlike flow cytometers there are no fluids within the NC-3000 which means no clogging, no spillage and no maintenance. Benefits of the NucleoCounter NC-3000 include: excellent precision and reproducibility; extreme ease of use; fast analysis (very short total operation time); automated data analysis and superior data visualisation software; calibration, maintenance and service free; all-in-one instrument with a small footprint; and plug & play system – preset parameters.
