Revolutionizing Cell Counting: The Power of the NucleoCounter® NC‑202™

In the world of modern cell culture, precision and reliability are not optional—they’re essential. Whether you’re working in a cutting-edge biotech lab, a GMP-regulated manufacturing facility, or an academic research center, the need for accurate, reproducible cell counting is universal. Enter the NucleoCounter® NC‑202™—a next-generation, cassette-based automated cell counter that’s setting new standards for consistency, speed, and compliance.

Now available on our website, the NC‑202™ is more than just a cell counter—it's an intelligent, regulatory-ready system designed to simplify and elevate your workflow.

What Makes the NC‑202™ Stand Out?

At first glance, the NC‑202™ impresses with its compact design and intuitive interface. But it’s what’s inside that truly sets it apart. Built upon Chemometec’s trusted NucleoCounter® platform, this third-generation model combines state-of-the-art optics, advanced software, and a patented closed-cassette system to deliver unmatched performance.

With analysis times as short as 30 seconds and a broad concentration range (5 × 10⁴ to 1 × 10⁷ cells/mL), the NC‑202™ eliminates the need for dilutions—saving both time and resources. It uses fluorescence-based image analysis via the Via2-Cassette™, which automates sample loading, staining, and chamber filling—effectively removing human error from the equation.

Designed for GMP, Ready for the Future

One of the NC‑202™’s most powerful advantages is its full compatibility with 21 CFR Part 11 and GMP regulations. The included NC-View™ software is built with compliance in mind—supporting electronic signatures, secure data storage, and audit trails, making it the perfect solution for cell therapy labs, biopharmaceutical QC, and clinical manufacturing environments.

Additionally, its consistent results across users, sites, and instruments help standardize workflows—something that’s often a major challenge in multi-site operations.

Key Benefits at a Glance

• High Precision & Reproducibility: Results are consistent across users and labs, with less than 10% variation.

• Closed-System Safety: The Via2-Cassette™ protects users from exposure to staining reagents and eliminates pipetting errors.

• No Dilution Required: Count cells at high concentrations without the need to dilute—ideal for large-volume processing.

• DebrisIndex™ Insight: A unique feature that quantifies culture debris, giving valuable insight into cell health and process quality.

• GMP & 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance: Be audit-ready with NC-View™ software that meets regulatory standards.

• User-Friendly Operation: Easy to train, easy to use, and easy to scale.
