Mammalian tissue or cell culture techniques were developed in the early 1900s as a method of maintaining animal organs outside of the body. During the 1940s and 1950s cell culture technology emerged as an essential tool to support virology research by enabling vaccine production through viral purification. Today, cell culture is used worldwide as a model for a variety of studies, including intra- and intercellular communication, tissue/organ development or organization, and different disease states, such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, and diabetes.

In this guide the most common cell types used in cell biology are described.

The TC10 automated cell counter has recently been replaced with our newest cell counter — the TC20™ automated cell counter. Review cell counting performance data and the innovative design, and check out the TC20 automated cell counter introduction video.

The TC10 automated cell counter will be discontinued. Visit the TC20 automated cell counter page and open the "Accessories" tab to order additional kits, reagents, and accessories for your ongoing work using the TC10 automated cell counter.

The TC10 automated cell counter provides a total count of mammalian cells and a live/dead ratio in one simple step with accurate, reproducible results. Count cells prior to cell culture or before starting processes and analytical techniques that require an accurate and consistent number of input cells. The TC10 automated cell counter helps you avoid the tedious task of counting cells with a microscope and hemocytometer, which produce varying results.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Fit cell counting into your schedule — count cells quickly, accurately, and consistently within 30 seconds using the built-in auto-focus
  • Configure results to your needs — determine total cell count without dye or use trypan blue to assess total cell count and cell viability
  • Have results at your fingertips — print count results and dilution calculations from the thermal label printer
  • Trust your counts — confirm instrument functionality with the system test kit
