What’s “hoppening” in the Craft Brewing Industry?

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 [...]

We think STEM is important – and we’re doing something about it.

STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - is vital to our future. At present, our students are not stacking up with the other developed countries. We understand the value and importance of encouraging students to explore these STEM fields, and consider a career in a STEM. For that reason, we created a package specifically designed with high schools, colleges and universities in mind. It's called our Teaching Lab - and it has everything a teacher needs to bring automated cell counting technology into their classrooms and labs at a discounted price. The Cellometer Mini and Cellometer Auto 1000 are [...]

Do you rely on a Flow Cytometer? Want to break free?

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 [...]

Benefits of direct high-throughput cell counting in immuno-oncology research

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.

Cure cancer… and brew better beer with Cellometer

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 [...]

Celigo 5 Channel system officially released

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 [...]

Is Automated Counting Right for You?

Our founder, Dr. Jean Qiu, developed the Cellometer Auto T4 in 2005 after receiving a request for such an instrument from a customer at NIH, and we officially launched it at AACR 2006. As we come up on the 10 year anniversary of the original launch of our first automated cell counter it got us thinking. When we created the first automated cell counter, we created the market for such devices and we were alone in the equipment space for 2-3 years before any other company came out with competitive products. (Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?) It was [...]
