Fluorescent Microscopic Somatic Cell Counter

Figure 1 images of milk somatic cells by a direct microscopic method olympus bx51 40 magnification a and by a fluorescent somatic cell counter lactoscan scc b.

Fluorescent microscopic somatic cell counter.

It fully comply with the iso 13366 1 idf 148 1 enumeration of somatic cells microscopic method reference method with regard to the staining of cells in the definition of cells to be counted depending on the size and the methodology of the counting. Lactoscan scc somatic cell counter is based on fluorescent image cytometry for counting cells in milk. Based upon a fluorescent microscope technique and magnification approach to cell counting the results are recorded by a charged coupled device ccd camera digitalisation of the actual cells. The lacticyte hd has an excellent correlation with the direct microscopic somatic cell count dmscc method.

Has developed a portable lactoscan scc based on direct fluorescent low magnification microscopic somatic cell counting. High end direct fluorescent low magnification microscope with fast autofocus and cell counting software fast accurate reliable somatic cells analysis of cow sheep goat buffalo and human milk. Lactoscan scc somatic cell counter is based on fluorescent image cytometry for counting cells in milk. Lactoscan scc somatic cell counter is based on fluorescent image cytometry for counting cells in milk.

Lactoscan scc uses a very sensitive fluorescent dye sofia green led optics и cmos technologies for capturing in order to make the cells analysis more accurate reliable and fast. It fully comply with the iso 13366 1 idf 148 1 enumeration of somatic cells microscopic method reference method with regard to the staining of cells in the definition of cells to be counted depending on the size and the methodology of the counting. It was easier to count fluorescent green cells in a black field using the auto counter than the blue cells in a bright field using the light microscope figure 1. Herein we present an integrated approach for simple and portable enumeration of somatic cells in milk that combines a multi functional cell counting chamber and a miniaturized fluorescence microscope the counting chamber contains a 100 µm high microchannel with multiple functionalities such as on chip fluorescence staining of somatic cells and automatic sample delivery into the chamber.
