Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the EVE™ Plus automated counter handle cell clumping?
The EVE™ Plus uses advanced image processing software that can identify and individualize cells within a clump, ensuring an accurate total count where other systems might undercount.
2. Can I use the C-Chip™ for counting samples other than mammalian cells?
Yes, NanoEntek offers different versions of the C-Chip™ (such as the Neubauer Improved, Fuchs-Rosenthal, and Burker Turk grids) suitable for counting yeast, sperm, blood cells, and even spores.
3. Do NanoEntek disposable slides fit other brands of automated counters?
While specifically optimized for NanoEntek devices, the C-Chip™ is a universal manual hemocytometer. However, for automated counters like the EVE™, it is highly recommended to use the specific EVE™ slides to ensure optical alignment and accuracy.
4. Is the JuLI™ Stage system compatible with standard CO2 incubators?
Yes, the JuLI™ Stage is designed to be compact and robust enough to operate directly inside a standard incubator, allowing for long-term time-lapse imaging of cells in their optimal growth environment.
