KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:
– Less than 1 min to get results
– Automated image analysis
– Accurate result
– Sensitive CCD detection and precise automatic stage
– Auto focusing
ADAM-MC, the automated fluorescence cell counter, performs viability and cell counting measurements using the PI(Propidium Iodide) staining method of dead-cell staining combined with advanced image analysis.
Advantage 1: New Standard of Automated Cell Counting
The ADAM series automatic cell counter measures total cell numbers and cell viability through cutting-edge detection technologies.
Instead of trypan blue staining which can lead to inaccurate data, ADAM utilizes sensitive fluorescence dye staining, LED optics and CCD detection technologies.
Advantage 2: Principle of Viability Measurement (PI-Staining Method)
After the samples are stained with fluorescent dye, propidium iodide, which intercalates DNA to stain the nucleus of target cells, ADAM-MC takes fluorescent images automatically. The obtained images are processed by image analysis software integrated inside the system.
Advantage 3: Disposable Microchips
The ADAM series automated cell counter utilizes a precision disposable microchip to eliminate the problem of a permanent counting chamber.
Each microchip is designed for single use. Pumping, cleansing, and wasting slides are not necessary for the ADAM cell counter.
Each microchip is produced at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and validated for accuracy.
Advantage 4: Accuracy & Reproducibility
Advantage 5: Comparison with Flow Cytometry
Comparison of cell viability between ADAM and flow cytometry.
SK-OV, HeLa and NCI-H23 cells were treated with 100 and 300 μM of H2O2 for 3 hours, then analyzed by ADAM and flow cytometry.
Values are given as mean ± SD of three experiments.
