Counters

Laboratory counters are essential instruments found in a wide range of scientific settings, from analytical chemistry labs to life science research facilities. These precision instruments are designed to accurately quantify particles, cells, or molecules in a given sample. They play a crucial role in various workflows, supporting research, quality control, and process development. Depending on the type, counters operate using different principles. For instance, particle counters utilize light scattering or electrical sensing zone methods to detect and size particles suspended in liquids or gases. Hematology analyzers, like those from Sysmex or Beckman Coulter, automate the counting and characterization of blood cells, while colony counters, often from manufacturers like Interscience or Synbiosis, facilitate the enumeration of... + More

Hematology analyzers, like those from Sysmex or Beckman Coulter, automate the counting and characterization of blood cells, while colony counters, often from manufacturers like Interscience or Synbiosis, facilitate the enumeration of microbial colonies on agar plates. Cell counters, often employing impedance-based or image-based technologies, accurately determine cell concentration and viability. These instruments are widely used in cell culture, microbiology, and immunology applications. Counters are invaluable tools in scientific techniques such as flow cytometry, spectroscopy, and chromatography, contributing to sample preparation, analysis, and quality control. Accurate counting is fundamental to many scientific experiments, enabling researchers to monitor cell growth, assess sample purity, and determine the effectiveness of treatments. For example, in drug discovery research, cell counters are crucial for assessing the impact of potential drug candidates on cell viability and proliferation. In environmental monitoring, particle counters are employed to measure air and water quality. Selecting the appropriate counter depends on the specific application and the type of sample being analyzed. While new laboratory equipment can be expensive, refurbished options provide a cost-effective alternative without compromising quality. At American Laboratory Trading (ALT), we offer a wide selection of refurbished counters from trusted brands like Thermo Fisher, Agilent, Mettler Toledo, and Sartorius. Our experienced engineers meticulously refurbish and test each instrument to meet original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, ensuring reliable performance. We back every counter with a standard 90-day warranty that can be upgraded to a three-year warranty, along with lifetime support to minimize downtime and maximize the lifespan of your equipment. This commitment to quality and customer support, combined with cost savings of 50%-80% compared to new equipment, makes refurbished lab equipment a smart investment for any laboratory. - Less
