Life Science Research Will Benefit from a New Hands-Free Mini Automated Cell Counter

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 14 Apr 2011
A new instrument for the life science laboratory – a novel hands-free mini automated cell counter – has recently been released to the marketplace.

The Moxi Z mini cell counter is manufactured by ORFLO Technologies (Bothell, WA, USA) who describe it as the first portable instrument to provide cell viability without the use of reagents or dyes.

The Moxi Z combines two powerful methods, the Coulter Principle which is the gold standard for cell counting, and a patented thin-film sensor technology developed by ORFLO to allow particle sizing and counting over a broad size range (two to 34 microns). More...
In just eight seconds per measurement, the instrument provides accurate cell size and count determinations and an indicator of dead versus live cells based on the proprietary Moxi Viability Index. A measurement requires only 75 μl of sample volume in the 3,000 cells/mL to 500,000 cells/mL range, and the Moxi Z's disposable cassettes offer superior ease of use and cost effectiveness.

The instrument is small enough to fit in the palm of one hand, does not require a PC to operate, is easy to clean and does not require that a person hold it while performing a measurement, making it an ideal tool for the hood. Cleaning is simple with ethanol or Isopropyl alcohol.

While the Moxi Z is very robust with few moving parts and has been validated to be extremely stable over time, each unit is supplied with an Electronic Calibration Cassette to allow periodic checks of the accuracy of the instrument.

"The Moxi Z mini cell counter sets a new bar for the cell counting community,” said Manju Sethi, vice president of business development at ORFLO Technologies. "The instrument eliminates virtually all of the drawbacks of current cell counting methods.”
