The Beckman Coulter Z1 Particle Counter uses the electrical sensing zone technique for counting cells or particles in the 1-120 micron size range. This technique provides accuracy, speed, versatility, and excellent precision; it is the accepted reference method for cell counting. Standard apertures are available in five sizes. In addition, for very small sample volumes, ampoule insert able apertures may be used. The Beckman Z1 particle counter has the ability to provide size distribution of the cell population. The Z1 cell counter uses the electrical sensing zone method of counting and sizing of cells. This method provides speed, accuracy, versatility and reproducibility. The Beckman Z1 displays the entire size distribution graph, or size of statistics and counts between user selectable areas of the graph. In addition, this system displays the cumlative count and the cumlative number % above and below a size determined by the cursor positioned on the graph. Single Threshold Unit. This allows one to set one size threshold. Cells equal to or larger than this setting will be counted. Fully automated instrument for the rapid enumeration of both tissue culture and blood cells from most any species. Excellent for rapid total cell count on cell lines containing cells of relatively uniform size. The Z1 Single Threshold instrument allows the operator to set one size threshold. Cells equal to or larger than this setting will be counted. Ideal as a fully automated instrument for the rapid enumeration of both tissue culture and blood cells from most any species. Excellent for rapid total cell count on cell lines containing cells of relatively uniform size. Includes Beckman Z1 system, keyboard, choice of aperture, Pentium IV Accucomp Data Station, LCD Monitor, and Harlow Scientific standard warranty.
