Laboratory equipment developed to quickly and accurately determine the total number of cells in a sample, as well as the percentage of viable (living) and non-viable (dead) cells. They allow for objective and reproducible results without the subjectivity of manual counting.
Equipment allows for continuous monitoring of critical parameters of cell and microbial cultures, providing quantitative data without the need for frequent manual sampling.
Colony counters are devices used for the automatic, semi-automatic, or manual quantification of microbial colonies grown on agar plates after incubation.
Fermenters (or bioreactors) are equipment used for the controlled cultivation of microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, fungi) or animal and plant cells, with the aim of producing biomass, metabolites, enzymes, vaccines, biopharmaceuticals or other bioproducts. They are essential to ensure efficiency, reproducibility and scalability in biotechnological processes.
