Accurate cell counts are critical for reproducible results in human iPSC-derived cell experiments, yet researchers often face variability between methods and machines. In this 45-minute workshop, bit.bio experts will share practical tips, internal benchmarking data, and guidance on how to get reliable counts across a range of human iPSC-derived cell types. Get tips on automated cell counters, what to watch out for, and how small steps can make a big difference to downstream cell health and experiment success.
Key learning points
- Understand the pros and cons of common viability stains like Trypan Blue and AO/PI, and why they can give different results
- Learn best practices for both manual and automated counting methods, including tips to reduce variability
- Explore leading cell counters (e.g. Countess, Cellaca, NC-202) and learn how their technical specs impact results
- Discover how dilution, timing, and handling influence count accuracy for various cell types
- Hear real-world examples of how poor cell counts affect assay outcomes, and how to avoid common pitfalls
