Cell count and cell viability are two of the most important parameters in cell culture related biological and biotechnological production and research. Traditionaly, these parameters are determined manually which is known to be time-intensive, user depedant and not reliable.

Innovatis A.G. offers complete automated cell culture analysis system ranges for accurate, efficient and quick measurements. technology has proven to fit into GMP processes and complies with the requirements of the 21 CFR Part 11.

Three main ranges of cell counting and viability systems are available :

Casy electronic cell counters for fast determination of cell count and viability, working in combination with the electronic pulse area analysis of Schärfe Systems. It also records minimal changes in a cell and permitts a measurement dynamic of over 1 : 40 in the particle diameter.

Cedex and Cedex Hires technology based on the automated Trypan Blue Exclusion method, determines accurate data about cell density, viability as well as additional cell specific parameters (diameter, agregate, growth ...) in less than 3 mns.

CellaVista technology is based on a non invasive measurement method combining bright field and fluorescence capabilities. It has been developped for allowing single cell cloning, quantitive cell confluence determination, suspension cell count, FACs seeding efficiency control, cell nuclei and characterization, transfection efficiency measurement, viral plaque assays analysis, fluorescent protein expression quantification, apoptosis assays analysis ...
