Vi-CELL BLU Cell Viability Analyzer

The faster Vi-CELL BLU cell analyzers 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
• Log-in samples on the fly
• Single sign-on with Active Directory
• 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 for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance

The Vi-CELL BLU also plays a defined role in gene modification and analysis for CRISPR-mediated gene therapy. After guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas nuclease delivery, it confirms cell count and viability to verify successful transfection and flag cytotoxic effects early, before cells move on to phenotypic imaging and downstream characterization.
