Semiconductor-based, lens-free cell counter that delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable results. No optical alignment. No consumable slides. Just science.
Traditional cell counting relies on optical lenses — limiting FOV, increasing cost, and demanding precise alignment. SOL COUNT replaces optics with lens-free CMOS biosensors: a semiconductor revolution in life science tools.
Built around a single principle: scientists should spend time on biology, not calibrating instruments.
From sample loading to cell count result — under 10 seconds per channel. Software automatically processes, counts, and displays results.
2 samples loaded in 1 shot → 2 results at the same time. The 4-channel cartridge enables multiple measurement conditions simultaneously.
Trypan blue staining identifies live and dead cells automatically. Validated on K562, Vero, CHO-K1, and Jurkat cell lines with results equivalent to hemocytometer.
Wireless sync to SOL's cloud server. Access results from laptop, phone, tablet, or desktop. Real-time monitoring, data comparison, and team co-working.
Export results in PDF, JPG, or Excel/CSV — including total count, live/dead concentration, viability %, and original + result images. LIMS-ready format.
When connected via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, SOL COUNT automatically prompts and applies firmware updates, continuously improving AI models and counting accuracy.
Prepare sample → Load → Get results. The simplest cell counting workflow in the lab.
Mix cell suspension 1:1 with 0.4% trypan blue. Pipette 10 μL into each cartridge chamber at 45° angle.
Push the SOL COUNT tray to open, place the loaded cartridge into the unit, then push the tray back in.
Press "Cell Counter" on the touchscreen. Results appear in ≤10 seconds — total, live, dead counts + viability %.
Save to USB drive or sync to SOLOUD cloud server. Export PDF report or Excel file with one click.
SOL COUNT's performance was validated against the hemocytometer (manual gold standard) across multiple cell lines and concentration ranges. The data speaks for itself.
R² ≥ 0.99 confirms near-perfect correlation with hemocytometer across the full measurement range. Slope of 1.0262 indicates minimal systematic bias.
| Concentration | Hemocytometer CV% | SOL COUNT CV% |
|---|---|---|
| High (~9.4×10⁶) | 12.91% | 3.39% |
| Med-High (~4.9×10⁶) | 12.41% | 4.73% |
| Med-Low (~2.6×10⁶) | 15.63% | 5.53% |
| Low (~0.4×10⁶) | 15.81% | 6.55% |
Lower CV% = higher precision. Acceptable CV% threshold is <10% for statistically significant results. SOL COUNT consistently outperforms hemocytometer and lens-based competitors (n=10 each concentration).
SOL COUNT viability measurements were validated at high (90%), medium (60%), and low (20%) viability conditions using trypan blue staining. Results were equivalent to hemocytometer across all four tested cell lines: K562, Vero, CHO-K1, and Jurkat. The imaging results match microscopy images, confirming accurate live/dead discrimination.
