Count primary hepatocytes using the Cellometer Vision

Primary hepatocytes can be used for the in vitro evaluation of metabolism, drug-drug interaction, drug transporter activity, and toxicity of drug candidates.  Hepatocytes are the predominant cell in the liver, comprising about 60% of liver cells and 80% of liver mass. One of the main hepatocyte functions is the production of bile. Hepatocytes are also responsible for…

Cell Counting 101 – The Hemacytometer

The hemocytometer is a device originally designed for the counting of blood cells and is now also used to count other types as well as other microscopic particles. The hemocytometer was invented by Louis-Charles Malassez and consists of a thick glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a chamber. This chamber is engraved with a laser-etched grid of perpendicular lines….

Gel Electrophoresis 101: Agarose Gel Electrophoresis and Documentation

Agarose gel electrophoresis is a method used in biochemistry and molecular biology to separate a mixed population of DNA and RNA fragments by length, to estimate the size of DNA and RNA fragments or to separate proteins by charge.[1] Nucleic acid molecules are separated by applying an electric field to move the negatively charged molecules through an agarose matrix. Shorter molecules move faster and migrate farther than longer ones because shorter molecules migrate more…
