Chemometec Nucleocounter YC-100 Automated Yeast Cell Counter with Fluorescence Microscopy

The Chemometec Nucleocounter YC-100 is a benchtop automated yeast cell counter optimized for accurate yeast cell quantification and viability analysis critical in brewing, biotechnology, and molecular diagnostics. Equipped with an integrated fluorescence microscope and CCD camera, it detects fluorescent signals from the propidium iodide (PI) dye bound to DNA, enabling clear differentiation of total and non-viable yeast cells.

Key features include:

• Rapid analysis time of 30 seconds per sample, supporting high-throughput workflows in bioprocessing and synthetic biology research.
• Sample volume: 60 µL loading with 1.0 µL analysis volume inside proprietary NucleoCassette™ consumables, designed for safe handling and disposal.
• Reliable quantification across an optimal concentration range of 5×10⁴ to 6×10⁶ cells/mL, making it suitable for suspensions of pitching yeast, dry yeast, and yeast in suspension.
• No requirement for cleaning or calibration reduces downtime in daily cell imaging and viability assessment tasks.
• Data export in multiple formats (.cm, .csv, .pdf, .bmp, .fcs) facilitates seamless integration with laboratory information management systems and documentation tools.
• Compatible optional NucleoView™ software for data visualization, documentation, and reporting enhances molecular diagnostics workflows.

Technically designed for fluorescence-based viability assays and total cell counts, the YC-100 supports critical applications in clinical diagnostics, biomanufacturing, and fermentation monitoring. Its precise and reproducible measurements are widely adopted in biotechnology laboratories to ensure quality control during yeast culture propagation and gene editing bioprocesses.

Dimensions: 40 × 23 × 25 cm (W×H×D); Weight: 4.9 kg Power Supply: 24VDC (100-240V ~ 50-60Hz) Includes six sealed packets of NucleoCassette™ consumables (PN: 941-0002).

The Chemometec YC-100 provides an essential tool for researchers and production professionals requiring robust, fast, and user-friendly yeast cell viability and count analysis integral to biotechnological and molecular biology applications.
