HAEMOCYTOMETER CELL COUNT FOR CSF SAMPLE

Cells of mammalian or prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells can be counted in the lab from samples using different kinds of counting chmabers. The neubauer counting chamber is one major type of counting chamber generally used for counting cells, manually in the microbiology laboratory. Improved neubauer counting chamber is a manual chamber or haemocytometer that allows […]

TRYPAN BLUE & HAEMOCYTOMETER

DrChika

Trypan blue is defined as a dye or stain that enables us to distinguish between living and dead cells. The trypan blue dye passes through the cell membrane of the dead cells; and this allows the dead cell to take up the colour of the dye. This way, the dead cells appear blue under the

MICROBIAL COUNT: Total Count & Viable Count

DrChika

Viable cell count: Viable cell count gives an estimate of the total number of living cells present in a given volume of a sample. Viable cell count can be determined by automated machines and with the use of counting chambers such as the haemocytometer (Figure 1) in the microbiology laboratory. Haemocytometers are routinely used in
