Here is our protocol for cell counting with a twist.
Fluorescent cell counting.
Bright field green fluorescent and red fluorescent channels were used.
From the results the total fluorescence per cell is then analyzed using excel sheet.
Add an appropriate amount of trypsin.
If you have a cell counter with fluorescent capabilities like we do there is a way around it without adding additional steps to the protocol.
Flow cytometric cell counting utilizes a sample with a known concentration of fluorescent beads.
Wash your cells with pbs.
Fluorescent cell counting kit fcck is utilized for the fluorometric detection of living cell numbers.
The amount of a fluorescent dye calcein produced from calcein am 3 6 di o acetyl 2 7 bis n n bis carboxymethyl aminomethyl fluorescein tetraacetoxymethyl ester by esterases in cells is directly proportional to the number of.
Because the concentration of beads is known the volume of sample analyzed can be easily computed.
The sample is run through a flow cytometer and set to stop after a predetermined number of beads are analyzed.
