Millipore’s new Scepter Automated Handheld Cell Counter has been selected as the winner in the Particle and Moisture Analyzer Category of Laboratory Equipment Magazine’s 2nd Annual Readers’ Choice Awards. The award, which celebrates “excellence in product design and performance for the tools and materials used by scientists and engineers in research laboratories” was bestowed by subscribers to Laboratory Equipment.

“We are honored to receive this recognition from the experienced scientists, engineers, and other laboratory professionals reading Laboratory Equipment Magazine who appreciate the value and performance of quality tools and equipment used in research labs,” says John Sweeney, Vice President of Millipore’s life science business unit.

“The Scepter handheld cell counter represents a breakthrough for life science researchers. Unlike any other cell counter, this handheld device provides researchers with a simple and affordable automated option for counting cells and monitoring the health of their cultures.”

Scepter miniaturizes Coulter cell counting technology found in much larger instruments into a portable device the size of an automated pipette. The instrument contains sophisticated electronics for cell sensing, signal processing, and data storage. A graphical display reports the cell count and average cell volume within 20 seconds of inserting the tip into a cell culture sample.
