The novel Ampha X30 opens a new era of cell analysis: simultaneous measurement of cell count and cell viability, and in addition more information about the status of the cells, like metabolic activity. Results are available after minutes – including sample preparation! With one instrument and four different chip sizes of the microfluidic chip the whole range of cells can be measured: bacteria, human and animal cells, algae, yeast, and others like somatic cells in milk.

all cell types can be analyzed with one instrument, using chips with different channel diameters. The cells are not harmed by the measurement and due to the absence of dyes and markers, the cells can be recovered and reused, e.g., for sorting or tissue culture.

Efficient

For the sample preparation no markers or dyes are required which reduces the operational cost. In addition, no incubation time is needed which shortens the whole measurement to minutes – from sample preparation until the result.

Flexible

The instrument is highly flexible and can be used for online analysis via a bypass of the reaction solution. The sample can be pumped from the reactor directly through the microfluidic chip and back into the reactor. The sophisticated software thereby facilitates measurement and data analysis and integrated wizards promote a simple workflow.
