MilliporeSigma™ Scepter 2.0 Cytometer Sensors

Description

Designed for use with the Scepter 2.0 Automated Handheld Cell Counter (cat. no. PHCC20040). Scepter 2.0 Cytometer Sensors ensure accurate, reproducible counts and eliminate pipetting errors and uneven sample loading. Available in two apertures to count cells between 4 and 25 μm.

• Engineered with a micro-fabricated, cell-sensing zone that enables discrimination by cell size and cell volume - down to sub-micron and sub-picoliter resolution
• Has a precision drilled aperture through which cells pass and are counted
• Counts based on Coulter principle of impedance changes across current established by sensor electrodes
• Ensures reproducible counts by drawing precisely 50μL of sample into its liquid handling microchannel each time
• Eliminates pipetting errors and uneven sample loading with precision liquid handling channels
• 40μm-aperture sensor
  • Able to count cells between 4 and 12μm in diameter and particles between 3 and 17μm
• 60μm-aperture sensor
  • Able to count cells between 8 and 25μm in diameter and particles between 6 and 36μm
