( ery early drug studies and may streamli...)Immunicon Will Exhibit CellCapture CTC Mouse/Rat Kit and EasyCount,System for Automated Cell Counting at AACR,Health

The EasyCount System is a fluorescent microscopy-based imaging system that accurately counts dead and live nucleated cells and automatically calculates cell viability, in a single test. Currently, most cell counting procedures are done manually using a hemacytometer and a microscope, which is a time-consuming and tedious process. The EasyCount System together with the EasyCount ViaSure(TM) Kit automate this routine function, eliminating the variability associated with the subjective interpretation of manual methods. The researcher can perform up to six tests at a time using the EasyCount Slide6(TM) Multi-Well Slide provided with the EasyCount ViaSure Kit and the instrument reports total and live cell counts and viability calculation in less than one minute per test. Immunicon will target research laboratories and industrial accounts including bioprocessing facilities in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics sectors, where rapid, accurate cell counting is valued highly by users.
