Cellometer counting chamber

Manufactured by Revvity
Sourced in United States

The Cellometer counting chamber is a specialized lab equipment designed for automated cell counting. It provides a consistent and reliable method for enumerating cells in a sample. The core function of the Cellometer counting chamber is to enable accurate and reproducible cell quantification.

Algae Cell Concentration Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Algae cell concentrations were calculated by pipetting a 20 μL sample of each culture onto a Cellometer counting chamber (Nexcelom Bioscience, Lawrence, MA, USA) and analyzed using a Cellometer Auto X4 Cell Counter (Nexcelom Bioscience, Lawrence, MA, USA).

Measuring Spermatozoa Viability in Queen Bees

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The spermatheca was ruptured with a pair of ridged forceps and the released contents mixed, transferred into a 1.7 ml centrifuge vial, and vortexed gently for 15 s. An aliquot of 200 µl was transferred to a 1.0 ml amber chromatography vial containing 2.0 µl propidium iodide solution and Sybr 14 dye from a Thermo-Fisher Live-Dead Sperm viability kit essentially as previously described56 (link). This aliquot was vortexed to mix and capped, allowing it to incubate at room temperature until all queens were processed, which took approximately 2.5 h.
After the spermathecal contents had incubated with the dyes for at least 10 min and no more than 3 h, 20 µl was transferred to a Nexcelom Cellometer counting chamber for spermatozoa count and viability imaging essentially as previously described11 (link),56 (link). The average of the three reads was taken for the measures of total spermatozoa concentration, and the viability was recorded as the ratio of live to total spermatozoa.

Cultivation and Enumeration of B. burgdorferi and E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B. burgdorferi low-passage virulent B31–5A4 was cultivated in Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly II (BSK-II) complete medium at 34°C (Samuels et al., 2018 ). Cultures were passaged to 1 × 105 cells/ml and grown to 1–3 × 107 cells/ml. Cell density was determined using a Cellometer counting chamber (Nexcelom). E. coli strains, HI-control 10G or BL21(DE3) cells, were grown overnight in lysogeny broth (LB) at 37°C to a density of ~1 OD600. Cells were then passaged 1:100 unless stated otherwise. Descriptions and genotypes of all strains used (E. coli and B. burgdorferi) can be found in Table S1.

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.
