EASYCOUNTER YC is a yeast cell counter used to measure the total number of yeast cells and determine the viability of the yeast in the sample suspension. The system consists of laser diode, optic train and CMOS imaging sensor and counts individual yeast cells by detecting the fluorescence signal of stained DNA in the cell nuclei with SOFIA GREEN fluorescent dye. After 8 μL of the ready sample with all staining cells is required to be pipetted directly into microfluidic disposable chip, the chip is loaded into the instrument for analysis. The EASYCOUNTER YC automatically focuses on the chip and the colored ells are captured by a sensitive CMOS camera. The number of cells, their concentration and viability are determined by the algorithm of imaging analysis and displayed on the screen.
