Cell Counting Lab Essentials

Cell counting is fundamental for all cell culture researchers. We offer a range of high-quality Gibco reagents to support the growth, maintenance, and dissociation of many mammalian cell types. The easy-to-use Invitrogen Countess II Automated Cell Counters offer advanced autofocusing and counting algorithms to allow you to quickly and accurately count cells, while avoiding user variation associated with counting.

Gibco Cell Dissociation Reagents

Gibco trypsin and alternative cell dissociation products are ideal for use with tissues and cell monolayers.  Available in a variety of formats to meet the varied needs of researchers performing adherent cell culture.

Get reliable dissociation for adherent cell culture

Gibco Trypan Blue Solution, 0.4%

Routinely use this cell stain to assess cell viability using the dye exclusion test.  Use while counting cells with the hemocytometer or with the Countess II chamberslides during routine subculturing.
