Cell counter

Manufactured by Revvity
Sourced in United States

The Revvity Cell Counter is a device used to count and analyze cells in a sample. It provides precise and accurate cell counts, enabling researchers and scientists to monitor cell populations and track changes over time. The core function of the cell counter is to accurately determine the number of cells present in a given volume of a sample.

Magnetic nanoparticle tumor targeting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FVB/N female mice (three animals per group with two tumors each) growing huHER2 allograft tumors at ~100 mm3 received intravenous (tail vein) injections of BP or BH (5 mg of Fe per mouse). Mice were euthanized 24 hours after injection. Tumors were processed as above for flow cytometry and placed on permanent magnet for 30 min. After discarding supernatant, total numbers of magnetically attached cells were counted in a cell counter (Nexcelom, MA).

Quantitative Cell Proliferation and Migration Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For proliferation assays, 24 h after transfection, 0.5X104 cells were plated in 6-well plates in triplicate, and cells were quantified in a cell counter (Nexcelom) at the indicated times. The transwell cell migration assays were performed in duplicate, using 6.5 mm diameter Falcon cell culture inserts (8 mM pore size, Falcon) in 24 well cell culture plates. 1X105 cells in serum-free media were transferred to the upper chamber, while the lower chamber contained media with 10% FBS. Following overnight incubation, the cells remaining on the upper surface were removed with a cotton swab. Migrated cells were fixed, visualized microscopically, photographed, and quantified using Image J. For soft agar assays, 1X105 stably transfected cells were mixed with complete media containing 0.4% of ultrapure agar (Invitrogen) and placed over 0.6% basal agar in 60 mm dishes. 3 to 5 plates per transfectant were used. Cells were grown for 3–4 weeks, and colonies were stained with Nitrotetrazolium Blue Chloride (1 mg/ml), photographed by microscopy, and quantified with a colony counter.

Hepatocyte Incubation and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CD-1 male mouse hepatocytes (BioreclamationIVT, M005052, lot:LRH) were thawed and warmed to 37 °C using Lebovitz’s L-15 medium and Cell yield/cell density and viability were assessed by a Nexcelom cell counter.
Incubations were conducted on a Hamilton robot, 0.25 mL of the hepatocyte suspension (1 million cells/mL) was transferred for each incubation into Nunc 96-deepwell plate. Substrate (2.5 µL of 0.5 mM in acetonitrile) was added (final concentration of 5 µM) and then incubated for 60 minutes at 37 °C. The samples were quenched with an equal volume of acetonitrile, spun at 3500 rpm for 10 minutes and 0.2 mL of the supernatant was transferred into 0.6 mL of water for analysis by UHPLC-UV-HRAMS.

Knockdown of GPER in Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
siRNAs against GPER were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (GPER-a) and Thermo Fisher Scientific (GPER-b) and transfected into the cells using Lipofectamine RNAiMax reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific), according to package instructions. The cells were counted after 3 and 6 days from transfection in triplicate samples using a Nexcelom Bioscience cell counter. Experiments were repeated three times and reported as mean ± SD.

LDH Cytotoxicity Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The collected cell culture supernatants were co-incubated with LDH cytotoxicity assay reaction buffer following the manufacture’s protocol (Clontech, Mountain View, CA). The colorimetric results were quantified using a BioTek microplate reader at 490 nm wavelength. The dead cells were counterstained with 0.4% trypan blue solution and quantified by Nexcelom cell counter.

Cell Viability and Co-culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were resuspended by gentle pipetting and 10 uL aliquots were taken and mixed in a 1:1 ratio with Ao/PI stain for cell counting by Nexcelom Bioscience cell counter. For co-culture experiments, cell number was subtracted from a background using irradiated stromal cells with no MCL cell seeding, which typically amounted to less than 5 percent of total cell number. In none of the experiments was loss of stromal cell number or viability observed with TAK-981 (provided by Takeda Development Center Americas, Inc., Lexington MA) treatment.

Isolation of Pleural Exudate Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pleural exudate cells (PLEC) were obtained through washing the pleural cavity with 10 ml RPMI supplemented with penicillin-Streptomycin (1%) and L-Glutamine (1%). Samples were kept on ice and contaminating erythrocytes were lysed prior to cell counting with a Nexcelom cell counter.

Lactate Quantification in Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lactate concentration in the medium was assessed following the protocol provided by the l-lactic acid (LA) Colorimetric Assay Kit (Elabscience, Wuhan, China). LX-2 cells were cultured for 48 h, and the supernatants were collected and diluted with PBS. A 5 µL aliquot of the diluted sample was taken for each well, followed by the addition of 100 µL of enzyme working solution and 20 µL of chromogenic agent. The mixture was then incubated at 37 °C for 10 min. A stop solution was added to each well, and the absorbance was measured at 530 nm using a full-wavelength microplate reader. To account for variations in cell number, the lactate content was normalized using a cell counter (Nexcelom Bioscience, USA). A similar procedure was employed to determine lactate levels in serum.

50 nM siRNAs (pooled siRNAs, Dharmacon) specific for human IGF-1R, c-Met and PDGFRβ were transfected using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent (Invitrogen). Scrambled (non-targeting pool) siRNA was used as control. 48 hours after transfections, cells were trypsinized, counted using a Nexcelom cell counter and plated in 96-well plates for cell viability assays as described. Cells were also collected, lysed and analyzed by western blot to check for knockdown of protein expression.

Isolation and Characterization of Immune Cells from Mouse Spleen and Meninges

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were given a lethal dose of anesthesia by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of Euthasol (10% v/v in saline) and were transcardially perfused with ice-cold PBS containing 10 U mL−1 heparin. The spleen and dural meninges were dissected and digested in 1 mg mL−1 collagenase 8, D and 5 U mL−1 DNase I (Sigma Aldrich) at 37°C for 30 min. The digestion was stopped by adding EDTA to a final concentration of 10 mM. The cell suspension was passed through a 70-um cell strainer. Cells were washed with RPMI (Gibco), resuspended in PBS, and counted with a cell counter (Nexcelom). Cells were stained with Zombie Aqua™ dye (Biolegend) for 20 min on ice. Cells were washed with PBS containing 2% FBS (FACS buffer), and Fc-receptors were blocked with anti-CD16/32 antibody in 50 μl total volume. An equal volume of primary antibody mix was added containing anti-CD45.2-Alexa Fluor 700, anti-CD4-eFluor450, anti-CD8a-PE, anti-CD90.2-PE-Cy7, and anti-TCRβ-FITC. Cells were stained for 30 min on ice and washed twice with FACS buffer. The data was acquired on a flow cytometer (Gallios Beckman Coulter) and analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Inc.) or Cytobank Premium.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
