| The Scepter handheld, automated cell counter provides a rapid, reliable alternative to traditional SCC analysis. The device combines the ease of automated instrumentation and the accuracy of the Coulter principle of impedance-based particle detection in an affordable, handheld format. The Scepter cell counter uses a combination of analog and digital hardware for sensing, signal processing, data storage, and graphical display. The precision-made, consumable polymer sensor has a laser-drilled aperture in its cell sensing zone that enables the instrument to use the Coulter principle to discriminate cell diameter and volume at submicron and sub-picoliter resolution, respectively. The spin-wash protocol, when used in conjunction with the Scepter cell counter and 40 μm aperture sensor, enables rapid, precise somatic cell counting with results comparable to fluorescence-based platforms.
