Oxford Optronix Gelcount Mammalian Cell Colony, Spheroid And Organoid Counter

The Oxford Optronix Gelcount Mammalian Cell Colony, Spheroid, and Organoid Counter is an all-in-one imaging and analysis platform designed for automated, high-accuracy counting and characterization of mammalian cell colonies, spheroids, and organoids. It combines advanced imaging technology with a powerful software suite to provide fast, objective, and reproducible results, making it an indispensable tool for cell culture and research applications.

Features & Benefits:

• All-in-One Platform: Integrated solution for imaging, detection, and characterization of colonies, spheroids, and organoids.
• High-Resolution Imaging: Captures detailed images at up to 2,400 dpi for accurate detection of small and overlapping objects.
• Fast Throughput: Processes up to four 6-well plates in approximately 8 minutes, enhancing lab efficiency.
• Versatile: Supports both adherent and non-adherent cell cultures, including 3D spheroids and organoids, with or without staining.
• Unbiased Output: Automated counting and data processing eliminates human error, providing objective results.
• Flexible Data Output: Data and images can be easily exported to Excel or saved in various image formats for presentations and further analysis.
