Accuris QuadCount™ Automated Cell Counter

The Accuris QuadCount™ Automated Cell Counter improves on the simple technique of brightfield microscopy by utilizing an LED light source, precision optics, and a high-resolution CMOS detector.  A finely tuned, motorized XYZ positioning stage provides for extra fine focusing and the ability to capture multiple images.

Features:

• Fast, Accurate, and Reproducible Results - It has a counting speed of 20 seconds per sample, it provides many advantages over the tedious and time-consuming hemocytometry method. The advanced software eliminates human bias in dead/live determinations, reduces counting errors, saves time, and improves efficiency
• Intuitive Software and Touch-Screen Interface:
  • After images are captured, the cell count parameters are easily adjusted by: Gating size range, Aggregation level, and Live/dead definition
  • Cell population statistics are viewed as a histogram, and cell size gating can be adjusted. In each QuadSlide, you can choose to view the histogram data for an individual or multiple chambers
  • USB ports connect a printer, barcode scanner, external keyboard, or flash drive. Detailed PDF reports can be exported to a flash drive and transferred to a PC for saving or printing
• Convenient and Cost-effective QuadSlides™ - It utilizes a unique 4-chambered disposable QuadSlide™. Four samples can be processed in one slide, decreasing consumable costs. High-precision production and molding ensure that each QuadSlide meets the rigorous standards and dimensional tolerances required for optimal counting performance
• 3 Count Modes - Used to analyze different sample volumes. The QuadCount’s ability to analyze larger sample volumes/multiple images provides significantly better accuracy
  • Quick Mode: 0.15μL / 20 seconds (1 image frame)
  • Normal Mode: 0.9μL / 30 seconds (6 image frames)
  • Precise Mode: 3.6μL / 100 seconds  (24 image frames)
• Advanced Optics and Imaging Technology - It incorporates the highest-quality optical and electronic components, such as a 4X objective lens and 5MP CMOS detector, to ensure reliable performance and consistent results. The precision motorized stage adjusts the position of the lens and sensor assembly in micron increments for automatic focus. Multiple image frames (up to 24) can be captured to increase the volume of sample counted, providing a higher level of accuracy
• Autofocus System - The QuadCount's proprietary autofocus system and image analysis software work in conjunction with the motorized stage to analyze and capture images in the proper focal plane
• Advanced Detection Algorithms - Advanced detection algorithms easily manage irregularly shaped and aggregated cells. Often misinterpreted by visual counting, correct analysis of these cells is performed by QuadCount’s software, resulting in more accurate counts. User-to-user variation is eliminated
