Cellop-Chip Hemocytometer Neubauer Improved NI Chamber 10µL 50 pcs

Description

Product Overview

The Cellop-Chip Disposable Hemocytometer is engineered for laboratories that demand accuracy, repeatability, and ease of use in cell quantification. Built around the classic Neubauer‑Improved (NI) grid pattern, the counting chamber incorporates two microfluidic wells per slide, each calibrated to hold exactly 10 µL of sample at a precise depth of 1.6 mm. The chamber is fabricated from high‑quality optical glass that delivers superior light transmittance, allowing researchers to observe cells with minimal distortion under both bright‑field and phase‑contrast illumination. The device’s hydrophilic surface treatment and integrated air‑walls prevent bubble formation and promote even distribution of cells across the grid, eliminating the need for separate coverslips and reducing the risk of sample carry‑over between measurements. With a compact footprint of 2.93 × 0.96 × 0.06 inches and a lightweight design of 10.4 oz, the hemocytometer is easy to handle and store, while the robust glass construction ensures durability through repeated cleaning cycles. Each box contains 50 individually sealed chambers, providing a cost‑effective solution for high‑throughput laboratories, teaching facilities, and quality‑control environments.

Usage

This hemocytometer is suited for a wide range of applications, from routine cell culture monitoring to advanced research requiring precise cell density measurements. Users can place a 10 µL aliquot of cell suspension directly into the microfluidic well; the chamber’s design automatically spreads the sample into a thin, uniform layer that fills the grid squares. The clear optical path enables rapid counting of cells under a standard microscope, while the NI grid provides reference lines that simplify calculations of concentration per milliliter. The device is fully compatible with automated cell counters that recognize the NI pattern, allowing seamless integration into high‑throughput workflows. Because the chambers are disposable, there is no need for cleaning or sterilization between runs, which saves valuable time and reduces cross‑contamination risk. The hemocytometer performs equally well with a variety of sample types, including bacterial cultures, mammalian cell lines, and yeast, making it a versatile tool for microbiology, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics.

Why Choose Us

Choosing the Cellop-Chip Hemocytometer means selecting a product that combines the reliability of a time‑tested design with modern microfluidic enhancements. The NI grid pattern has been the industry standard for decades, and our version improves upon it by integrating air‑walls that prevent sample mixing and by applying a hydrophilic coating that guarantees even cell distribution. Each chamber undergoes rigorous quality control to meet optical clarity standards, ensuring that every user experiences consistent performance across the entire box of 50 units. The glass material is sourced from certified suppliers and is chemically resistant, allowing safe use with a broad range of staining reagents and fixatives. In addition, Cellop provides responsive technical support and a clear return policy, giving laboratories confidence that any issues will be addressed promptly. By delivering a product that reduces preparation steps, eliminates cleaning, and maintains high measurement fidelity, we help scientists focus on data generation rather than instrument maintenance.

FAQ

What is the advantage of the Neubauer‑Improved (NI) grid over a standard hemocytometer?

The NI grid incorporates refined line spacing and depth calibration that improve counting accuracy, especially for small or irregularly shaped cells. It also reduces the likelihood of counting errors caused by uneven sample thickness.

Can this hemocytometer be used with automated cell counters?

Yes, the chamber’s NI pattern is recognized by most commercial automated cell counters, allowing seamless integration into high‑throughput workflows without manual counting.

Is any special preparation required before loading a sample?

No special preparation is needed. Simply pipette 10 µL of your cell suspension into the microfluidic well; the hydrophilic coating spreads the sample evenly across the grid.

How should the chambers be disposed of after use?

Because the chambers are made of glass, they should be placed in a designated glass waste container following your laboratory’s safety protocols. They are not recyclable through standard plastic recycling streams.

What microscopes are compatible with this hemocytometer?

The device works with standard bright‑field microscopes, phase‑contrast microscopes, and any system that can accommodate a standard glass slide. Its thin profile also makes it suitable for use with high‑resolution digital imaging setups.
