Dr. Chan's paper, "Measuring Lager and Ale Yeast Viability and Vitality Using Fluorescence-Based Image Cytometry" examines the use of image cytometry for multichannel fluorescent assessment of yeast viability and vitality during the brewing process.
November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and research into a cure for the disease is vigorous. In a recently published paper "CRISPR/Cas9-Correctable mutation-related molecular andphysiological phenotypes in iPSC-derived Alzheimer’s PSEN2N141I neurons" researchers used the Celigo image cytometer upstream of CRISPR/Cas9 to visualize and asses cell death related to the sensitivity of iPSC-derived PSEN2N1411 neurons in the presence of Aβ42 oligomer toxicity.
As the first automated cell counter ever manufactured, the Auto T4 set the standard with its pattern-recognition software and bright field imaging used to calculate cell count, concentration and viability with Trypan Blue.
...a neck massage! There's a new article out from Biocompare entitled "Cell Counts and More" - and we have to give joke credit to them. We think it's a pretty good one, and accurate, just like our instruments. One of our customers, Tiffany Sidwell, of UCLA Immunogenetics Center, even provided some feedback on the very topic last year. Tiffany shared: "Counting cells daily on the microscope was very bad for my occipital joints and muscles. Since using the Cellometer Auto 2000, I no longer have neck pain when counting cells. Thank you Nexcelom!" There are many, many benefits associated with [...]
Based on an article published by NPR this week, the Craft Brewing Industry is alive and well, with over 5,000 craft brewers in operation last year. And for as many craft breweries that are out there, there are as many different ways to rank them! The Brewers Association will rank by sales and production; Vinepair has a map displaying the number of breweries by state; Thrillist seems to have organized the ranks based on their opinion of the offerings; Travel + Leisure positions the beer offerings with the city's appeal. Source: Brewers Association Regardless of how you rank [...]
If you rely on a flow cytometer in a core lab or a central facilities lab, have you ever wondered if there was a better way? Have you ever wished to have full control over your experiments, rather than hand your sample over to a technician? There was an interesting article written recently about the needs of researchers. Have you seen this? Those interviewed for the article suggest that there are some main factors for consideration: The instrument size needs a smaller footprint than existing products offer The price of the instrument should be under $100,000 Software ease-of-use to reduce [...]
Cellometer Auto 2000 cell counter can detect live and dead nucleated cells while excluding debris, red blood cells, platelets in your sample.
By directly imaging and counting every cell in a well over a course of a drug treatment, the Celigo can perform the cytotoxicity assays in a label-free format.
Nexcelom has been using a slogan for the past few years - Better tools for better biology for better life. We manufacture better tools (Cellometer & Celigo) that help researchers perform better biology (cell counts, viability, drug discovery, cell-based assays, etc...) which leads to advances in science and better life for everyone involved! When we were coming up with the slogan, we were going to finish the third part to read "for better science" - but one of our customer groups are breweries (yeast are cells, too!) - and we didn't want to exclude such an important group. One of [...]
Lawrence, Massachusetts – September, 2016 - Nexcelom Bioscience, a leading provider of cell counting and analysis products for biomedical research and the biopharma industry, announced it has released the addition of a 5th channel available as an option on the Celigo image cytometer. The Celigo is a bench-top image cytometry system providing whole-well imaging and quantitative data, through image analysis for demanding cell-based analytical applications. Previous configurations allowed bright field only imaging, or bright field imaging plus 3 fluorescent channels. This new option of bright field plus 4 fluorescent (red, green, blue and far-red) channels will allow researchers more capabilities [...]
