New from Peqlab – an automated method for yeast concentration and yeast viability analysis

Available on Peqlab’s Cellometer Vision automated cell counter platform, a new rapid automated method to count yeast cells and analyse viability. Tests require only 20 micro litres of cell suspension and results are available in around 30 seconds with minimal set up. Data is presented on screen in a clear ‘what did it count’ view and numerical data including cell count, concentration and viability.

Designed for use by the yeast research community, biofuel scientists and fermentation and brewery facilities, this new application uses a novel staining technique for remarkably quick and dependable results.

This assay is universally suitable for a wide range of yeast species and sizes. The Cellometer automated cell counter offers highly reproducible, accurate and transparent cell analysis with very quick turn around times. The system requires no calibration, no cleaning and no servicing and is widely in use in research, commercial and industrial settings.
