Countstar® Altair
Advanced Cell Analyzer for Industry
Product Overview
The Countstar® Altair is designed based on the classic Trypan Blue exclusion principle, integrating the advanced “fix focus” optical imaging bench, the most advanced cell recognition technologies, and software algorithms. Enable to get the information of cell concentration, viability, aggregation rate, roundness, and diameter distribution by one run.
To meet the cGMP regulation, Countstar® Atair software, equipped with a powerful data management function, offers a 4-level user access control feature, e-signatures, and log files that is in compliance with the FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulations.

Product feature
Automated, Fast and Easy Operation
Only need three steps to get the test result.
Touch Screen with Flexible Experiment Assay Management System
“App-like" interface. Allow to add multiple Experiment Assays for different operators
Most Advanced Imaging Technology
1. Unrivaled "Fixed focus" patent
There is no need for the user to focus under any circumstances: replacing the slide, changing the sample slot, different regions of interest selected. Results are highly reproducible and an interference by the operator is excluded
2. 5 megapixel industrial colour camera to provide high resolution images
Countstar Altair
3. Our protected image recognition algorithms analyze more than 20 single parameters of each object classified
Powerful and User-Friendly Data Management
FDA 21 CFR Part 11
Make a detailed record of any changes, edits, deletions, adjustments, etc. Electronic records cannot be deleted, including administrators. Electronic records include date, time, username, machine serial number, and user's actions
Instrument Stability Test (IST)
Shanghai RuiYu BioTech has established a comprehensive validation plan that test and monitor the stability and accuracy of the result of Countstar Mars to guarantee the data is reliable in the daily use. Shanghai RuiYu BioTech has deigned an examination program (Instrument Stability Test, IST) to make sure that performance of instruments meets the requirements of cGMP regulated environments. IST will examine and calibrate the instrument once in a period of time to prove that the result measured by this instrument remains accurate and stable after years of use.

Applications
Development of bioprocessing in antibody Production during the whole Process
During the whole process from antibody R&D to production, there are many steps need to carry out cell based assay to evaluate the process or quality control. Such as the total cell concentration and viability will define the status of the cell culture.
Trypan blue cell counting and viability
Countstar is applicable to cells with diameter of 5-180um, like mammalian cell, insect cell, and some planktons.
Cell Size Analysis
The change of cell size is a key feature and is commonly measured in cell research. Normally it will be measured in these experiments: cell transfection, drug test and cell activation assays.
