Product Name:

Scepter™ 3.0 Handheld Automated Cell Counter

Catalog Number:

PHCC340KIT/PHCC360KIT

For us this was a really disappointing 'upgrade' from Scepter 2. In terms of functionality and connectivity the counter is fine but it does not come with any analysis software as the Scepter 2 did, so if you want to:

  • count percentage 'gated' cells (viability)
  • overlay/compare histograms

-then you are on your own.

The software was actually what made the old Scepter 2 instrument useful for us, without it we don't have time to perform all the analyses manually.

Application :

Cell counting/analysis
