尽管细菌比真核生物更小、更简单,但它们是一类令人难以置信的多样化的生物体,具有多种形状、大小和排列方式。菌落计数是一个高度可变和不可靠的,因为它只是对存在的活细胞的一个估计。即使是昂贵的流式细胞仪和激光扫描细胞仪,也会将每个颗粒,不论是单个还是成团的记录为单个事件。QUANTOM Tx™微生物细胞计数仪是一种基于图像的自动细胞计数装置,可以在短短几分钟内检测单个细菌细胞。全新的的针对细菌优化的细胞检测软件可以在最紧密的细菌团块中计数单个细菌细胞。
Great machine with simple precision that's reliable.
Overall, QUANTOM Tx is user-friendly, simple, quick, but accurate and accountable. The whole measurement for total and viable counts can be optimized to as short as 30 min for the entire process. The results are reliable and accountable. I'd recommend this for all cell biology work. Compared with traditional cell plating which requires overnight incubation for viable results or total cell count by using the Neubauer method. With QUANTOM Tx, we can have reliable results and reduce the total process time.
Overall, we are very satisfied with the platform. It is a mainstay of our workflow.
We use the Logos QUANTOM Tx (QTx) to enumerate various species of bacteria grown in liquid media. Prior to purchasing the QTx, enumeration was done via the spread-plate method. The rapid quantitation afforded by the QTx allows us to have a result in as little as 30 minutes, compared to 3 days for the spread-plate method. We have also found the QTx useful for determining the proportion of live/dead cells within a sample. The simplicity and ease of use of the QTx allows for rapid training of new operators and excellent repeatability. In addition, Logos' after-sales service has been exceptional.
