Cell Health & Quality Control
Meet the Countstar Mira FL Pro. An advanced dual-fluorescence cell counter engineered specifically for the uncompromising analysis of yeast, bacteria, and platelets.
Accelerate Microbial & Platelet Analysis
Eliminate the multi-day wait times of traditional CFU assays. The Mira FL Pro combines enhanced 10x optical magnification with dual-fluorescence precision, delivering absolute accuracy for ultra-small microscopic samples. Analyze yeast budding, bacterial viability, and platelet counts in just 60 seconds per sample, empowering real-time monitoring and rapid workflow decisions.
High-Resolution Magnification
Uncover hidden detail and resolve ultra-small cells (optimal for 2-10µm) using advanced 10x optical magnification and an 8.3MP CMOS camera.
Rapid Runtimes
Gain rapid insight by generating accurate, actionable data in just 60 seconds per sample—over 100x faster than traditional multi-day CFU plating methods.
Ultra-Low Sample Volume
Conserve precious samples and preserve highly sensitive or limited source material by utilizing a minimal 6 µL sample volume per run.
Dual-Fluorescence Power
Characterize complex samples instantly by mapping live, dead, and actively budding cells with precise optical channels.
Automated Batch Processing
Streamline specialized workflows and eliminate manual counting bottlenecks by automatically processing up to 5 microbial or platelet samples per batch.
Industry Compliance
Safeguard compliance and secure regulated pipelines with 21 CFR Part 11-ready software, multi-level user privileges, electronic signatures, and automatic audit logs.
