Countstar Altair Advanced Cell Analyzer for Industry

Countstar® Altair
Advanced Cell Analyzer for Industry

  • Trypan blue Cell Counting
  • Development of Bioprocessing
  • Pharmaceutical Industry
  • Quality Control 
  • cGxP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11

Product Overview

The Countstar® Altair is designed based on the classic Trypan Blue exclusion principle, integrating the advanced “fix focus” optical imaging bench, the most advanced cell recognition technologies, and software algorithms. Enable to get the information of cell concentration, viability, aggregation rate, roundness, and diameter distribution by one run.

To meet the cGMP regulation, Countstar® Atair software is equipped with a powerful data management function and offers a 4-level user access control feature, e-signatures, and log files that are in compliance with the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.

Key Benefits

Instrument Stability Test (IST)

Instrument Stability Test (IST)
Shanghai RuiYu BioTech has established a comprehensive validation plan that test and monitor the stability and accuracy of the result of Countstar Mars to guarantee the data is reliable in the daily use. Shanghai RuiYu BioTech has deigned an examination program (Instrument Stability Test, IST) to make sure that performance of instruments meets the requirements of cGMP regulated environments. IST will examine and calibrate the instrument once in a period of time to prove that the result measured by this instrument remains accurate and stable after years of use.

Applications

Development of bioprocessing in antibody Production during the whole Process

During the whole process from antibody R&D to production, there are many steps need to carry out cell based assay to evaluate the process or quality control. Such as the total cell concentration and viability will define the status of the cell culture.

Trypan blue cell counting and viability

Countstar is applicable to cells with diameter of 5-180um, like mammalian cell, insect cell, and some planktons.

Cell Size Analysis

The change of cell size is a key feature and is commonly measured in cell research. Normally it will be measured in these experiments: cell transfection, drug test and cell activation assays.
