A Blue light LED transilluminator offers many advantages to today’s life science researchers. Blue light is safer to use than ultraviolet (UV) excitation, which is traditionally used in the laboratory. As such, researchers do not need to be at risk for burning their skin or eyes if they did not take precautions to work with…

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…

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….

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…

In 2003, the founders of Nexcelom introduced the CP2, a convenient tool to assist with manual cell counting. According to Dr. Jean Qiu, founder and CTO at Nexcelom. One day a customer at the NIH asked us to ‘make counting under the microscope go away.’ We invented Cellometer Auto T4 to measure cell concentration and…
