Description
The NucleoCounter® SP-100™ automated sperm cell counter is ideal for use in animal reproduction. The instrument combines ease of use with effectively determining total sperm concentration and sperm viability from ejaculates or extended doses.
Even users with limited training in laboratory work can operate the SP-100™. Its compact size fits perfectly into any research, quality control or production site.
This automated sperm cell counter has a virtually unlimited measurement range due to dilution prior to the analysis.
SemenView™ is the accompanying software for the NucleoCounter® SP-100™ automated sperm counter. The optional software can be used to save data or create a report—the instrument can run without the software, as it has a digital display of the cell count.
