ChemoMetec NC-200 NucleoCounter Automated Image Cytometry Cell Counter

The ChemoMetec NC-200 NucleoCounter is an automated cell counting system employing advanced image cytometry, tailored for precise quantification and viability assessment of diverse cell types including suspension cells, aggregated cells, CAR-T cells, stem cells, and cells cultured on microcarriers. This robust instrument is critical in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows where reliable cell enumeration and viability metrics are essential.

Key technical features include:

• Via1-Cassette technology: calibrated sample volume (~60 µl load, 1.4 µl measured) with integrated pipetting and immobilized fluorescent dyes (acridine orange and DAPI) for automatic differentiation of total and dead cell populations, eliminating pipetting errors and staining variability.
• High reproducibility: user-customizable protocols with the ability to save modified procedures to ensure consistent results across multiple assays.
• NucleoView software: enables fluorescence image visualization, event population selection via scatter charts, and validation of cell count inclusions/exclusions—streamlining quality control in cell-based research.
• Technical specifications: 240V DC voltage, maximum 50W power consumption, compact footprint (38 x 22 x 26 cm), and rapid analysis times (50 seconds for single-step, 120 seconds for two-step protocols).

This system is widely adopted in biotechnology research, cellular therapy development, and biomanufacturing pipelines, supporting critical applications such as gene editing validation, stem cell cultivation monitoring, and synthetic biology experiments that demand precise cell viability and concentration data. The NC-200 is essential for research professionals focusing on live-cell analysis, fluorescence-based viability assays, and automated cell quantification techniques in biomedical engineering and clinical diagnostics.
