Brightfield cell counting
For Total and viability cell counting, prepare a cell suspension according to standard
procedures. Mix the sample, 1:1, with Trypan Blue Stain, 0.4% (T13001) or
Erythrosin B (L13002). Mix gently, but thoroughly to ensure a homogenous
suspension.
For total cell counting, load the sample directly onto the slide without staining the
sample.

Prepare a cell suspension according to standard procedures. Mix the sample, 9:1
(cells: stain), with Acridine Orange/Propidium Iodide Cell Viability Kit (F23001). Mix
