Presentation of Result
The NucleoCounter YC-100 presents the estimated cell density
in the sample in the cassette. In order to obtain the cell
concentration in the original cell suspension the result must be
multiplied with the appropriate multiplication factor to
compensate for any dilution.
Operation
Menu-controlled by means of keyboard and LCD display.
