Counting Yeast Cells for Brewing and Wine Industries Can Be Facilitated by the Scepter™ 2.0 Handheld Automated Cell Counter | ||

| The Scepter™ cell counter offers an easy-to-use
alternative to current methods of yeast cell counting.
With the Scepter™ cell counter, Merck Millipore has
captured the ease of automated instrumentation and
accuracy of impedance-based counting using the Coulter
principle in an affordable, handheld format (Figure 2).
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.
