  • 21 CFR Part 11 Ready Software.
  • API-driven automated data retrieval.
The NucleoCounter® NC-203™ is a high-precision cell counter designed to deliver accurate, fast, and consistent analysis of complex cell samples.
As cell types, (co-)culture conditions, and cell-based fill-finish products become increasingly complex, more versatile imaging information is required to maintain a high level of analytical accuracy.

The NucleoCounter® NC-203™ combines ChemoMetec’s proven cassette-based technology with brightfield imaging, enhancing cell detection and enabling robust differentiation between cells and non-cellular artifacts.

Used together with the Via3-Cassette™, the NC-203™ creates a closed cell-counting system that helps protect users when handling samples. No pipettes, no exposure to (toxic) reagents, and minimal clean-up make the NucleoCounter® system a safe and user-friendly solution.

The NucleoCounter® NC-203™ is developed in alignment with the XcytoMatic® platform, ensuring consistency across ChemoMetec’s analytical solutions. A key part of this alignment is the use of XM-View™, the shared software platform across the XcytoMatic® series.

XM-View™ also provides API access for the NC-203™, improving traceability, reducing manual data handling, and ensuring that cell-counting data can be captured, structured, and integrated seamlessly into broader data-management architectures.
