BioRad TC10 Automated Cell Counter

The BioRad TC10 Automated Cell Counter is a benchtop instrument that counts mammalian cells in one simple step, initiating auto-counts immediately upon slide insertion. The innovative autofocus technology and sophisticated digital image analysis algorithm produce accurate cell counts for most samples in less than 30 seconds. The TC10 cell counter rapidly provides a total cell count with or without trypan blue staining and assesses cell viability via trypan blue dye exclusion. Getting all the data you need about your cell cultures is fast and easy, as the TC10 Cell Counter and disposable counting slides eliminates the need for tedious setup, cleaning, or maintenance.

The TC10 Cell Counter provides accurate and reproducible cell counts for suspended cells that have been grown as adherent or suspension cells at concentrations within the 5 x 10^4 to 1 x 10^7 cells/ml range and for cells within the 6-50 um cell diameter range. Only 10 ul of cell suspension is required for the cell count. The cell counter detects the presence of trypan blue in the sample with no user input required and automatically accounts for the 1:1 (trypan blue:cells) dilution factor.

An image of the counted cells can be viewed onscreen and downloaded onto a USB flash drive immediately after the count. The TC10 can store results from 100 counts. Count results can be exported onto a USB flash drive and viewed in Excel. The TC10 cell counter has a dilution calculator to derive cell resuspension volumes required to achieve the cell concentration needed for the next experiment. A histogram of cell diameter distribution in the sample can be viewed after the cell count.

All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
