Types of Automated Cell Counters
Automated cell counters fall into three main categories:
Electrical Impedance-Based Cell Counters Flow Cytometers Image CytometersEach type is manufactured by various companies and is suited for specific applications-ranging from academic research to cGMP manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. The optimal choice depends on factors such as total cost, performance, and convenience, as well as whether the device will be used for on-line, at-line, or off-line measurements.
Principles of Automated Cell Counters
1. Electrical Impedance
Electrical impedance-based counters operate on the principle that cells have different conductivity than the surrounding electrolyte solution. Suspended cells pass one by one through a narrow aperture flanked by two electrodes. As each cell passes, it causes a change (impedance) in electrical conductivity, which is recorded as a count.
Advantages:
-   No need for cell staining.  Excellent for measuring cell size (impedance is proportional to cell volume).
 
Limitations:
-   Coincidence events may occur when multiple cells pass simultaneously.  Backflow may cause double counting.  Only suitable for clean suspension samples, as the method is non-specific to cells.
 
  Solutions: 
  Adjusting aperture size or diluting the sample reduces counting errors.
2. Flow Cytometers
Flow cytometers assess cells based on their optical and fluorescent characteristics using light scattering. The system comprises a fluidics, optical, and electronics setup. Cells flow in a narrow stream and interact with a laser beam; the scattered light is then collected and analyzed.
-   Forward Scatter (FSC): Determines cell size and viability.  Side Scatter (SSC): Reveals internal cell complexity.
 
Flow cytometry enables quantitative and qualitative analysis, including cell counting, organelle assessment, and surface marker detection. It also serves as the foundation for fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS).
Advantages:
-   Highly accurate for heterogeneous or rare cell populations.  Provides rich cellular data (e.g., protein, DNA content).
 
Limitations:
-   Requires daily cleaning and regular maintenance.  Fluidic clogs and calibration issues may occur, requiring skilled operation.  Higher operational costs.
 
3. Image Cytometers
Image-based cytometers use digital microscopy, advanced cameras, and machine learning algorithms to count cells. Samples are placed on a slide or cassette, imaged, and analyzed to determine cell count, viability, and size .
Staining:
-   Trypan Blue: Stains dead cells (visible under brightfield microscopy).  Fluorescent dyes (e.g., AO and DAPI): Used for more complex or mixed samples to distinguish live and dead cells via fluorescence.
 
Advantages:
-   Minimal maintenance (no complex fluidics).  Compact and user-friendly.  Offers visualization of actual cell images for verification.  Customizable algorithms for different cell types or aggregation levels.
 
Limitations:
-   Dependence on algorithm accuracy.  Multiple protocol options may complicate operation.  Requires staining (unlike impedance-based systems).
