The four pillars of achieving accurate and precise cell counts
Regardless of the chosen cell counting method, achieving an accurate and precise count from repetitive counts of a single sample or across multiple samples is critical, yet sometimes challenging. Learn the four pillars of accurate and precise cell counting to help your lab minimize variability and maximize cell counting confidence.
Application note
Comparison of cell counting methods
The most common method for counting cells uses a microscope and hemocytometer. Advancements in imaging technology have enabled the automation of cell counting, providing improved accuracy and reliability, with much less time and effort. This application note compares these two methods.
