GeneLab now houses Invitrogen's Countess automated cell counter. The Countess™ provides fast, easy and accurate cell counting without using a hemocytometer, eliminating the tedium and subjectivity of manual cell counting forever. Automated counting frees up your time, reduces eye strain, and minimizes subjective judgments that can lead to error. The instrument counts and calculates viability in 30 seconds. It also includes a dilution calculator. You can save data to a user-provided USB drive for later analysis. Free Countess software is available to download from Invitrogen’s website.
