The category covers automated cell counters, microvolume spectrophotometers, bead-mill homogenisers, surface plasmon resonance instruments, and biological air samplers. Each sub-category carries the matched consumables alongside the instrument.
Laboratory instruments and consumables for precise measurement without a core facility
Precise measurement does not need a core facility. A matched portfolio puts it on your bench, across five instrument areas.
Automated cell counters come from Logos Biosystems. The LUNA family covers mammalian cells, nuclei, and yeast, and the QUANTOM Tx covers microbial counting. Both come with the counting slides, stains and calibration tools you need to start straight away.
Microvolume spectrophotometers come from Implen. The NanoPhotometer line lets you measure nucleic acid or protein concentration in sub-microlitre samples. The OD600 DiluPhotometer measures the optical density in bacterial or yeast cultures.
Bead-mill tissue homogenisers come from Bertin Instruments. The Precellys range comes with matched lysing kits for disruption before your extraction.
Surface plasmon resonance instruments come from Nicoya. The semi-automated OpenSPR and the high-throughput Alto both give you label-free binding kinetics.
Biological air samplers also come from Bertin Instruments. The Coriolis range lets you collect airborne particles.
Each area carries the matched consumables and accessories that keep it running: counting slides, lysing kits, tubes, sensor cartridges, cuvettes, and spare parts, all stocked alongside the hardware. The area that matches your measurement takes you to the page below with the specific model.
Choose by what you measure.
-
Counting and viability. If you need mammalian and microbial cell counts with viability discrimination, the automated cell counters below are the match.
-
Concentration and purity. If you need nucleic acid and protein quantification from a sub-microlitre drop, or bacterial culture density, the microvolume spectrophotometers below fit the job.
-
Sample disruption. If you need reproducible tissue, microbial or plant homogenisation before extraction, the tissue homogenisers below fit the job.
-
Binding kinetics. If you need real-time, label-free affinity and kinetics, from single-pair work to high-throughput screening, the surface plasmon resonance instruments below are the match.
-
Air monitoring. If you need microbial and particle sampling of air in cleanrooms and the environment, the biological air samplers below fit the job.

Applications
Mammalian cell line maintenance
LUNA counters quantify viable cells before passaging, seeding, and inoculating bioreactors, replacing manual counts, with more detail under automated cell counters.
Microbial culture enumeration
QUANTOM Tx counting handles your bacterial and yeast cultures, giving rapid, reproducible density and viability counts for fermentation and microbiology work.
Nucleic acid and protein QC
Microvolume spectrophotometers measure DNA and RNA concentration from 1 to 2 microlitres, and read 260/280 and 260/230 ratios to flag contamination.
Upstream sample disruption
Bead-mill homogenisers disrupt tissue, microbial pellets, and plant material in seconds, releasing nucleic acids and proteins, with more detail under tissue homogenisers.
Binding kinetics and affinity
SPR instruments measure binding rates and equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) for antibodies, proteins and small-molecules, with more detail under SPR instruments.
Environmental and cleanroom monitoring
Cyclonic air samplers collect airborne microorganisms into liquid for culture-based or molecular quantification, supporting your bioburden checks.

Frequently asked questions
Slides, sensor chips, lysing beads and collection cones are specific to each instrument platform. Listing them together helps you confirm compatibility and order everything needed for a complete workflow in one step.
Start with what you are measuring. This could be cell number or viability, nucleic acid or protein concentration, binding affinity, or airborne bioburden. Each sub-category page describes the decision criteria for that measurement type.
Most are bench-top instruments suited to a standard cell culture or molecular biology laboratory. Surface plasmon resonance requires clean, degassed buffers and temperature control.
