| The Scepter cell counter offers an easy-to-use alternative to current methods of yeast cell counting. With the Scepter cell counter, EMD Millipore has captured the ease of automated instrumentation and accuracy of impedance-based counting using the Coulter principle in an affordable, handheld format. The instrumentation has been collapsed into a device the size of a pipette and uses a combination of analog and digital hardware for sensing, signal processing, data storage, and graphical display in the form of a histogram. The 40 μm- and 60 μm-aperture sensors placed at the tip of the instrument are engineered with a microfabricated, sensing zone that enables discrimination by cell size and cell volume at sub-micron and sub-picoliter resolution, respectively. Here, we outline the method for using Scepter counting for the enumeration of yeast cells. Click the PDF above for the full document. | |
