Vi-CELL BLU Cell Viability Analyzer

The faster Vi-CELL BLU automates the Trypan Blue Dye Exclusion method for cell viability analysis. The Vi-CELL BLU expedites processing by now having the option to use a 24-position sample carousel or a 96 well plate for sample delivery.

Additional enhancements incorporated in the Vi-CELL BLU include:

Fully automated sample preparation, analysis and post-run cleaning
Small sample size
Fast sample processing time
Small laboratory footprint
Flexible sample introduction – carousel or 96 well plate
User-friendly reagent system
Cell viability reported in percentage, concentration, and cell count
Large sample capacity
Data integrity tools
