6.1 Overview
In the process of cell culture, it is necessary to determine the cell concentration and identify the cell
viability to guide the subsequent experiments. For some more complicated cell experiments or samples,
fluorescence analysis is needed to distinguish and count the quantity of a certain type of cell. For
example, count the quantity of cells expressing GFP fluorescence in the transfection experiment.
The automated cell counter collects and analyzes cell images and then obtain the concentration
of the sample. After trypan blue staining, the proportion of living/dead cells can be obtained.
Specific fluorescence analysis can be performed after the fluorescence cube is installed.

① Touch screen display: 7-inch capacitive screen displaying user operation interface.
② POWER Indicator.
③ USB port 1: allows users to download the cell count data and image onto an external device with the
USB port for storage. USB flash drive format: FAT32.
④ Counting slide port: allows users to insert the counting slide loaded with samples.
⑤ USB port 2：the function is the same as USB port 1.
Note: two USB ports are provided at the front and rear of the instrument for data transfer, and the
instrument does not support reading of two USB flash drives simultaneously.
⑥ Quick knob on rear cover plate: users are allowed to loosen two quick knobs by counter clockwise
rotation.
⑦ Rear cover plate: allows users to use fluorescence cubes (optional) and store fluorescence cube tools.
⑧ Power switch: main power switch.
⑨ Power input: users must use provided power cord and proper plug in compatible with the socket in
user's country to connect the instrument to the socket by the power input.
