The hemocytometer (or haemocytometer, or Burker's chamber) is a counting-chamber device originally designed and usually used for counting blood cells. [ 1 ] The hemocytometer was invented by Louis-Charles Malassez and consists of a thick glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a precision volume chamber.
Instrument Uses Flow cytometer: used for automated cell counting as in total blood count, differential count, etc. : Tissue bath or organ bath or Dale's apparatus: used in full tissue experiments, for example using guinea pig ileum mainly used in pharmacology for application of drugs to these tissues.
Cell counting is any of various methods for the counting or similar quantification of cells in the life sciences, including medical diagnosis and treatment. It is an important subset of cytometry , with applications in research and clinical practice.
Until the 1950s the hemocytometer was the standard method to count blood cells. [5] In blood cell counting applications the hemocytometer has now been replaced by electronic cell counters. However, the hemocytometer is still being used to count cells in cell culture laboratories. Successively the manual task of counting, using a microscope, is ...
A dilution of the cells to be counted is prepared and mixed with Trypan blue, this is normally the stain of choice because it is taken up by dead cells and actively excluded from live cells. Once the cells have been stained, they are counted using a hemocytometer, then a calculation is carried out to the original concentration of live cells. [1]

Every month, thousands of Eritreans attempt to flee repression, torture and indefinite forced conscriptions by embarking on a dangerous journey to Europe.
This type of hematology analyzer utilizes both Coulter's principle and flow cytometry to determine the granularity, diameter, and inner complexity of the cells. Using hydrodynamic focusing, the cells are sent through an aperture one cell at a time. During this, a laser is directed at them, and the scattered light is measured at multiple angles.
