Casy cell counter and analyzer

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Germany, Switzerland

The CASY cell counter and analyzer is a laboratory instrument used to count and analyze cells. It provides accurate cell counts and measures various cell parameters, such as size and viability. The CASY system utilizes electrical impedance technology to perform these measurements.

6 protocols using casy cell counter and analyzer

1

Cell growth kinetics assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell number was determined using a CASY cell counter and analyzer (Roche, Germany) at each passage and long-term growth kinetics in vitro was assessed by determining cumulative population doublings (CPDs). The number of population doublings (PDs) was calculated using the formula: PD = log(Xb/Xa)·3.3, where Xa represents the initial cell number, Xb represents the cell harvest number, and 3.3 is a coefficient. PD of each passage was calculated and added to the PD of the previous passage level to obtain the CPD.

After performing a single treatment (either 2.3. isolated 5 s CPP application; or 2.4. exposure to chemotherapeutic agents; or 2.5. combined treatment), cells were incubated over a 120 h period. The number of living cells was determined using the CASY cell counter and analyzer (Roche Applied Science, Mannheim, Germany). The population doublings were calculated using the following formula: PDL = PDL0 + 3.322 (logCf − logCi).

Cell Proliferation Assay in ACH-3P Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ACH-3P cells were seeded in a 12-well plate (100,000 cells/well) and incubated with 1 ml of AEC-Cdm, VEC-Cdm or control medium for 24 h under standard culture conditions. After two washing steps with HBSS, cells were detached with accutase and counted with the Casy cell counter and analyzer (Roche Innovatis, Basel, Switzerland). With this assay the total number of viable cells as well as dead cells was measured. Since the culture conditions showed no effect on the rate of dead cells, the decrease of cell numbers at the end of the experiments could be directly linked to a reduced proliferation of cells (n = 9 of three independent experiments).

Comprehensive Murine Bone and Spleen Sampling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tibia, femur, pelvis, radius together with humerus were collected from every mouse. Additionally, we harvested sternum, calvarium, and the vertebrae (cervical vertebrae C1–sacral vertebrae S5). Bones were cleaned and crushed in MACS buffer (PBS + 1% FCS + 2 mM EDTA) using a mortar and pestle. BM cell suspensions were filtered through a 40-μm cell strainer to remove bone debris. Single splenocyte suspensions were prepared by crushing the spleen through a 40-μm cell strainer with the plunger of a syringe. For several LCMV experiments, whole spleen and BM cells were enriched for CD8+ T cells with CD8α microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) and MACS LS columns (Miltenyi Biotec). Erythrocytes were lysed with red blood cell lysis buffer (155 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM KHCO3, 127 mM EDTA). White blood cells were counted with CASY Cell Counter and Analyzer (Roche).

The experiments were carried out with the HK-2 cell line. HK-2 cells, which are human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells immortalized by transduction with human papilloma virus 16 E6/E7 genes, were obtained from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC, Salisbury, UK). The HK-2 cells were cultured in a DMEM/F12 (1:1) medium supplemented with 5% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 10 ng/ mL epidermal growth factor (EGF), a 10 μg/mL insulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) solution, 50 μg/mL penicillin and 50 μg/mL streptomycin (all reagents from Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA). The cells were maintained under standard cell culture conditions at 37 °C in a humidified incubator in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 -95% air. A CASY Cell Counter and Analyzer (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) were used for basic quality control of the cell culture system and for evaluating cell numbers. HK-2 cells in the maximum range of 20 passages and in an exponential growth phase were used for this study.

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.
