Automated Hepatocyte Counting

Automated Hepatocyte Counting

Using machine learning, DeNovix scientists developed a unique algorithm for the CellDrop Automated Cell Counter to deliver rapid and reliable hepatocyte counts. Learn more about the Hepatocytes app in this collection of resources.

CellDrop Automated Cell Counter

Hepatocyte Counting and Viability

Traditional automated cell counters have failed to reliably count hepatocytes due to irregular shapes, variable nuclei number, autofluoresence and often a high amount of debris in samples. DeNovix cell biologists have used advanced machine learning tools to develop the first robust and reliable method for automating the counting of these complex samples.

Quick and Simple

A mix-and-measure assay combined with dual fluorescence measurement and analysis in as little as 40 seconds

Accurate Analysis

Delivers data equivalent to an experienced technician, improving reproducibility and standardizing measurement

Comprehensive Data Analysis

In addition to live / dead hepatocytes, this application also reports the number of lymphocytes, free nuclei and debris objects
Additional Features
  • No Disposable Slides Required
  • Automated and Manual Size Gating
  • Autofocus
  • Dilution Calculator
