Automated Cell Counter – High-Performance Accuracy by RWD Life Sciences

The Automated Cell Counter from RWD Lifesciences delivers fast, reliable, and accurate cell counting for high-throughput labs across South Africa. Available through Apex Scientific, this innovative laboratory equipment streamlines workflow with brightfield and optional fluorescence detection. As a result, it ensures precise outcomes with minimal operator input.

 

Powerful Optical Imaging for Consistent Results

At the core of the RWD automated cell counter series is a high-resolution 5.0 MP camera, paired with a precision 2.5× or 5× objective lens. These models support both manual and autofocusing functions. Consequently, they deliver consistent and reproducible analysis, even at high sample volumes. The imaging system captures clear images across a wide range of cell sizes, from 4 µm to 180 µm. Therefore, it suits mammalian, yeast, and stem cell applications.

C100 Automated Cell Counter: Precision Imaging for Cell Viability and Transfection Efficiency

The automated cell counter is designed to accurately identify both live and dead cells, providing detailed information such as cell counts, viability, and cell diameter—all with a single click. When equipped with a fluorescence cube, the C100 model displays brightfield and fluorescence (BF and FL) images simultaneously, offering precise data on cell counts and morphology. This functionality makes it an ideal instrument for evaluating cell viability and transfection efficiency. It is especially suitable for research in immunology, vaccine development, cell therapy, tumor studies, stem cell analysis, and metabolic research.

Fluorescence Compatibility for Advanced Applications

For researchers requiring enhanced identification, the C100-Pro and C200FL models offer optional or integrated fluorescence analysis. With filter options for AO/PI, GFP, and RFP, these models enable accurate viability assessments and cell cycle studies. Fluorescent detection takes just five seconds. As a result, turnaround is fast without sacrificing precision.

 

Fast Counting. Intelligent Analysis.

Speed is crucial in busy laboratories. Each automated cell counter completes brightfield counts in less than nine seconds. In addition, the intelligent software supports customizable protocols, automatic report generation, and high-capacity data storage. This allows you to focus on your research while the system handles the technical details.
