  2. Cell counting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_counting

    Hemocytometers and Sedgewick Rafter counting chambers are two types of counting chambers. The hemocytometer has two gridded chambers in its middle, which are covered with a special glass slide when counting. A drop of cell culture is placed in the space between the chamber and the glass cover, filling it via capillary action. [1]

  3. Hemocytometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemocytometer

    The number of cells in the chamber can be determined by direct counting using a microscope, and visually distinguishable cells can be differentially counted. The number of cells in the chamber is used to calculate the concentration or density of the cells in the mixture the sample comes from. It is the number of cells in the chamber divided by ...

  4. Coulter counter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulter_counter

    In addition to clinical counting of blood cells (cell diameters usually 6–10 micrometers), the Coulter counter has established itself as the most reliable laboratory method for counting a wide variety of cells, ranging from bacteria (<1 micrometer in size), fat cells (about 400 micrometers), stem cell embryoid bodies (about 900 micrometers ...

  5. Cytometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytometry

    Cytometers are the instruments which count the blood cells in the common blood test.. Cytometry is the measurement of number and characteristics of cells.Variables that can be measured by cytometric methods include cell size, cell count, cell morphology (shape and structure), cell cycle phase, DNA content, and the existence or absence of specific proteins on the cell surface or in the ...

  6. CASY cell counting technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASY_cell_counting_technology

    A Coulter counter [3] is one of the other devices used for cell counting. Like CASY technology, this also uses electric current for cell counting. However, the difference between them is that there is an aperture called “sensing zone”, with a known volume of electrolyte in a coulter counter.

  7. CD4+/CD8+ ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD4+/CD8+_ratio

    In COVID-19 B cell, natural killer cell, and total lymphocyte counts decline, but both CD4 + and CD8 + cells decline to a far greater extent. [12] Low CD4 + predicted greater likelihood of intensive care unit admission, and CD4 + cell count was the only parameter that predicted length of time for viral RNA clearance.

  8. Viable count - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viable_count

    Determining the viable cell count is important for calculating dilutions required for the passaging of cells, as well as determining the size and number of flasks needed during growth time. It is also vital when seeding plates for assays, such as the plaque assay , [ 2 ] because the plates need a known number of live replicating cells for the ...

  9. Mitotic index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitotic_index

    Mitosis is the division of somatic cells into two daughter cells. Durations of the cell cycle and mitosis vary in different cell types. An elevated mitotic index indicates more cells are dividing. In cancer cells, the mitotic index may be elevated compared to normal growth of tissues or cellular repair of the site of an injury. [2]
