TC20 Automated Cell Counter Cell Gallery
The TC20 automated cell counter can accurately count a broad range of cell types including:
- Immortal cell lines
- Primary cells from tissue or blood (peripheral blood mononuclear cells, primary lymphocytes)
- Stem cells
These cells were counted using the TC20 automated cell counter either by Bio-Rad scientists or customers. The TC20 Automated Cell Counter can count spheroid cells in suspension that have a diameter between 6 and 50 µm.
