Overview
The ‘Gold Standard’ in mammalian cell Colony, Spheroid and Organoid Counting and Analysis
The Colony Forming Assay and colony counting is universally recognized as the gold standard method for measuring the effects of radiation, chemotherapeutic drugs and other agents on mammalian cell viability.
However, manually counting the resulting cell colonies, spheroids or organoids is a thankless, laborious and time-limiting task in which consistent objectivity is difficult to achieve.
GelCount™ is an easy-to-use, PC software-operated colony counter that automates the detection, counting and analysis of mammalian cell colonies in multi-well plates, Petri dishes and T25 flasks. Colonies and cell types can be either adherent ('2D'), or non-adherent ('3D') seeded in semi-solid matrices or indeed suspension.
GelCount provides a powerful and cost-effective alternative to the subjective and labour-intensive task of manual colony counting in the colony forming cell assay, also referred to variously as the clonogenic assay, the cell survival assay, the tumor cloning assay, or the organoid formation assay.
