Trusted by Experts

"We study the regulation of cancer cell growth by signaling and metabolism. CASY is the ideal system for us to precisely measure proliferation and cell size of a wide range of cell lines. In this context, the new software makes instrument operation as well as data visualization and organization easy and convenient."

Dr. Wilhelm Palm • Head of the Junior Research Group Cell Signaling and Metabolism • German Cancer Research Center

"We use CASY cell counter for toxicological studies at a single animal level. The CASY cell counter proved to be an accurate and sensitive instrument for ecotoxicological applications allowing fast, simple and label-free measurements."

Prof. Dr. Konstantinos Grintzalis • School of Biotechnology • Dublin City University

"Cytotoxicity Assays using CASY enable us to perform fast, simple and reliable assessment of anti-cancer drug regimens and the subsequent chemosensitivity of carcinoma cell lines. A major advantage of CASY is that debris and dead cells can be masked in the analysis by a simle cell line speficfic setup and only viable cells and their aggregates are considered. However, as a complete cell status is recorded, also dead cells and debris data are available at any time."

Dr. J. Weinreich • Head of Experimental Oncology • University Hospital Tübingen 

"We have successfully been using CASY for 10 years now. With CASY we are able to carry out reproducible cell culture experiments even when working with highly aggregated cells. CASY allows us to consider cell concentration and aggregation when seeding and harvesting cells, as both are measured by CASY. Measuring accurately cell number, the aggregation factor and the cell volume, gives us the opportunity to express analytical data as concentration per cell. Additionally, the molar amount of a substance within a cell can be calculated (used for example for metal uptake in μΜ)."

Prof. Dr. Julia Bornhorst • Professor for Food Chemistry with focus on Toxicology • University of Wuppertal

"We have been using CASY for the fast and reliable determination of cell concentrations and cell diameters of our cell cultures for 20 years now. We are still impressed by the high reproducibility of the measurements and the simple, intuitive operation of the device. The associated software offers great options for managing and displaying the measurement results graphically."

Dr. Heike Schwarz • Head of Cell Biology Department • DIARECT AG

"The CASY counter has been a key piece of equipment for the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine trial. We needed a reliable way to count cells from hundreds of blood samples on a daily basis. The CASY counter is a fast and accurate way of counting PBMCs. It is easy to use as it requires no sample preparation or staining, just add your sample to the CASYton buffer solution and it is ready to go! It is the gold standard of cell counting and we felt confident using it in our clinical trial due to its high reproducibility and accuracy."
