Overview
Total cell counting is a method used to measure the number of viable cells in a liquid suspension. It is used throughout the biological, biochemical and medical fields, for instance for measuring cell viability in cell cultures and for evaluating the effects of certain treatments. This technique is a critical part of the process for quality control and safety when preparing cell cultures for further experimentation or for clinical use. The most common method for total cell counting is the hemocytometer, which utilizes a special device to analyze a volume of diluted cell suspension. The number of cells in the sample are then manually counted, giving an accurate total cell count.
