Fluorescein and its derivative fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) are ubiquitous in cell and molecular biology as a fluorescent label for cells and in many other applications. The DeNovix® DS-11 Series Spectrophotometer / Fluorometer instruments enable precise fluorescein quantification using a proprietary optical core and four versatile fluorescence channels.
DeNovix CellDrop beads provide a convenient alternative to biologic samples for instrument qualification and training.
The Yeast app on CellDrop Series instruments enables rapid automated cell counting for live/dead yeast cell suspensions.
The DeNovix® AO/PI Assay and the AO/PI app on CellDrop™ Series instruments enable rapid automated cell counting for live/dead cell suspensions.
The PI Assay and the PI app on CellDrop™ Series instruments enable rapid automated cell counting for cell suspensions.
The DeNovix AO Assay and AO app on CellDrop™ Series instruments enable rapid automated cell counting for cell suspensions.
EasyApps software is regularly updated to introduce new functionality and respond to customer feedback. Updates are free and can be managed either through WiFi or USB.
The DeNovix dsDNA High Sensitivity Assay enables the accurate detection of purified double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) samples with a standard detection range of 100 pg – 250 ng total mass in 200 µL volumes and is compatible with a range of fluorometers and microplate readers.
Cells that are elliptical in shape and less perfectly round can be difficult to count with an automated cell counter. CellDrop includes Irregular Cell Mode to address this issue. This feature enables researchers to accurately count a wider variety of cells.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has proposed a robust method to assess cell counting linearity and reproducibility using serial dilutions to measure the proportional change of concentration on a cell counting device compared to the known proportion of the dilution series. A version of this method was tested on a DeNovix CellDrop Automated Cell Counter to assess the linearity and reproducibility near the CellDrop limits of detection.
