Automated Cell Counters for Fast, Accurate Cell Quantification

Boost lab productivity and data consistency with Life science tester’s reliable, high-speed cell counters for research, biotech, and clinical use.

Overview

Automated cell counters are critical tools for laboratories that require fast, consistent, and reproducible measurements of cell density, viability, and morphology. These systems eliminate the variability and time demands of manual counting by leveraging advanced imaging, fluorescence detection, and smart algorithms. From basic viability checks to complex population assessments, automated cell counters help researchers make informed decisions quickly.
High-throughput labs, biotech startups, and clinical testing facilities rely on these systems for their ease of use, accuracy, and compatibility with a range of sample types—including mammalian, yeast, and bacterial cells. Whether used for routine passaging, cytotoxicity studies, or production batch monitoring, automated counters streamline workflows and standardize results.
Life science tester’s, based at 360 Central Avenue, St Petersburg, FL, 33701, USA, delivers precision-engineered automated cell counters to B2B customers throughout North America. We combine innovation, quality assurance, and expert guidance to support smart, scalable lab operations tailored to research and industry demands.
