New Automated Organoid Counter Introduced

Oct 01 2020

Manually counting organoids is a routine part of laboratory operations but is time consuming and user dependent. To overcome these issues CytoSMART has introduced an organoid counting application – a new, powerful, and easy-to-use software application which enables organoid counting with the Corning® Cell Counter.

The main features and benefits of the CytoSMART Organoid Counter are: speed and accuracy thanks to its cloud-based image analysis algorithm; low-cost as no consumables are required - works with a common reusable glass hemocytometer; precision as software allows for data gating and image selection for statistical analysis. 
 

Joffry Maltha, CEO at CytoSMART Technologies, said: "The 3D cellular structures that are formed in organoids have great potential in drug discovery and developmental biology. This has fuelled the ever-growing interest in culturing new sub-types of organoids and optimisation of current protocols. Growing organoids does however take a substantial amount of time and skill. We believe that implementation of an automated solution for organoid counting can really speed up day-to-day work in the lab and is a logical step towards further implementation of organoids in cell culture-based research."
