Bio-Rad Announces New TC10 Cell Counter that Counts Cells in 30 Seconds

Bio-Rad's TC10 automated cell counter counts mammalian cells in under 30 seconds. The counts are accurate and reproducible, eliminating the need for manual counting with a microscope and hemocytometer.

Cell biologists, molecular biologists, and biochemists count cells prior to cell culture or before starting other processes and analytical techniques such as transfection and real-time PCR, both of which require an accurate and consistent number of input cells. The hemocytometer is extremely labor intensive, tedious and vulnerable to subjective bias.
