Precise cell analysis for:
Product OverviewThe Countstar S2 System combines the two fluorescence channels plus a bright field digital microscope, an image cytometer, and a cell counter in a single bench-top instrument. This application-driven, compact, automated cell imaging system provides an all-in-one solution for cell counting, cell viability and Cell transfection efficiency through the use of preconfigured biological applications (BioApps). They are specifically optimized for analysis of primary cells from peripheral blood, including PBMC, CAR-T, NK cell and MSC, which commonly used in cell therapy.Excitation light: 480nm, 525nmEmission filter:535nm, 600LP

ApplicationsMonitoring the Quality of CAR-T Production during the whole Process
The immuno therapy, such as CAR-T involves the collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from the patient, then enrichment of the desired T cell subset followed by genetic modification to create engineered CAR-T cells. The CAR-T cells are expanded in large-scale and then infused back into the patient. With the Countstar S2 system it is possible to continuously monitor the viability and concentration every step of the entire process of manufacturing CAR-T cells under GMP.
Dual-Fluorescence Viability
GFP Transfection EfficiencyIn cell and molecular biology, the GFP gene is frequently used as a reporter of expression. Currently, scientists are commonly using the fluorescent microscopes or flow cytometers to analyze the transfection efficiency of mammalian cells. But Flow cytometer requires a high-qualified and experienced operator. While Countstar FL enables users to get the result of a transfection efficiency assay quickly and accurately.
Trypan blue viability and concentrationTrypan blue viability and concentration assay also can be available on Countstar S2. Shown here, are the enlarged representative images of cell line. Since all of the cells were stained with trypan blue, we show the stained trypan blue image as well as the Countstar S2 counted image.
