Scepter™ 3.0 Cell Counter
Feb 02 2021
The Scepter™ 3.0 cell counter provides the unparalleled precision of Coulter impedance counting in a convenient, handheld format. Our newest version of the popular Scepter™ cell counter has been updated with features that make it more convenient, easy-to-use, and accurate than ever before. The Scepter™ sensors use precision microfluidics to measure the electrical impedance of individual cells. This technology gives on-demand outputs of cell volume, cell diameter and cell concentration - all within the cell culture hood.
The smartest version yet of our handheld cell counter, the Scepter™ 3.0 instrument uses the Coulter impedance method which avoids common artifacts arising from image-based cell counting methods. It does not rely on user technique or manual calculation for accuracy and counts thousands of cells per measurement for maximum precision.
The Scepter™ 3.0 cell counter demonstrates the latest enhancements in handheld cell counting technology, highlighted by:
Compatibility with More Cell Types
The Scepter™ cell counter is the only one on the market to accurately count particles as small as 4 μm in diameter.
Smart, Automated Data Transfer
Transfer results wirelessly, or via USB for reliable recording and archiving.
Powerful Instrument Software
- Gate and capture up to 999 cell size or volume histograms
- Create and save gating settings
- Easily export data for in-depth analysis
