The Countstar Rigel S3 combines three fluorescence excitation wave-lengths with three detector filters, offering a bright field view as a plus. The analyzer integrates functionalities of an image cytometer, a digital microscope, and an automated cell counter in a bench-top instrument. This application-driven, compact and automated imaging cell analyzer provides a universal platform for cell density and viability determination, Apoptosis monitoring, CD-marker phenotyping and many more test scenarios, that can be added by a new individual, customizable BioApps, tailored to the characteristics of those dyes, compatible to the available excitation and detector wavelengths. The BioApps simplify routine, cellular-based laboratory tasks, making them more reliable, and saving time to focus on other, important works in the lab or production.
Excitation wavelengths: 375nm, 480nm, and 525nm
Emission filters: 480/50nm, 535/40nm, and 600nmLP
