Description
The Invitrogen Countess 3 FL Automated Cell Counter has fluorescence capabilities with two easily interchangeable fluorescent light cubes selected from 14 spectrum-spanning options. Like the Countess 3 instrument, the Countess 3 FL instrument can count cells and measure viability in brightfield, while also reporting fluorescent protein expression, apoptosis, transfection efficiency, and cell viability using fluorescent reagents in as few as 30 seconds.
Fluorescence cell counting also allows the use of fluorescence-based cellular assays that offer more specificity with complex samples by using fluorescent cellular stains or fluorescently tagged cells.
Features:
- Fluorescence applications: Advanced viability, apoptosis, transfection efficiency, fluorescent protein expression, and more.
- Interchangeable LED light cubes: Extend your choice of fluorescent proteins and dyes beyond GFP and RFP
- Optimized Ready Count reagents: Designed for the Countess 3 FL cell counter
