Cellometer K2
Cell counting and analysis for primary cells with GxP compliance.
The Cellometer K2 utilizes bright field imaging and dual-fluorescence imaging to quickly and accurately identify and count individual cells. Cell count, concentration, diameter, and % viability are automatically calculated and reported.
The Cellometer K2 is specifically optimized for analysis of primary cells from peripheral blood, cord blood, bone marrow, and other complex samples for use in a wide range of research areas, including:
- Nucleated Cells for Transplantation
- PBMCs for Immunology
- Hepatocytes
- Splenocytes for Vaccine Development
- Stem Cells for Cellular Therapy
- Tumor Cell Suspensions for Oncology
Dual-color fluorescence allows for staining of live and dead nucleated cells, generating accurate viability results even in the presence of debris, platelets, and red blood cells. Accurate analysis of both ‘messy’ and ‘clean’ samples enables the K2 to evaluate samples at a variety of points throughout sample processing – from initial collection to separation, to cryopreservation.
As an option the K2 is compliant with CFR21part11 requirements and can be operated under GxP in regulated environments.
