BioProfile® CDV
Automated High Resolution Cell Density/Viability Analyzer at Moderate Cost
BioProfile CDV incorporates advanced, state-of-the-art technology for rapid, accurate measurement of cell density and cell viability in mammalian cell cultures. Based on the widely recognized and accepted trypan blue exclusion method, BioProfile CDV combines advanced technology in robotics, digital imaging and computer algorithms in a highly automated analyzer:
Easy to Use, Labor Saving Automation
BioProfile CDV robotics automate the entire counting process including sample aspiration, dilution, mixing, staining, cell classification and results archiving.
- BioProfile CDV automation conserves labor for more skilled tasks
- The intuitive, touchscreen interface is easy to use. No special operator skill is required.
- Operator technique deviations in manual cell counting are avoided
- BioProfile CDV’s 20-position sampler enables batch sampling and walk-away automation.

High Resolution, Digital Imaging System
A high resolution vision system provides precise auto–focusing on a mono-layer of cells within the counting chamber and captures high quality cell images. High resolution imaging on a mono-layer of cells enables more accurate cell inspection and classification.
Fastest Cell Counts, Less Than 2.5 Minutes
BioProfile CDV robotic automation, high-speed image capture and image processing combine to provide the fast cell counts and high throughput. A comprehensive cell count is available in less than 2.5 minutes, with throughput up to 25 samples per hour. Test results include:
- Viable cell density
- Percent viability
- Live cell diameter
- Live cell standard deviation/histogram
Accurate, Reproducible Cell Counts
Advanced algorithms rapidly process images from up to 40 optical fields, allowing thousands of cells to be counted for more accurate, reproducible cell counts.
Low Cost of Operation
BioProfile CDV reduces operating cost by consuming minimal reagent volumes. Easy to use reagent cartridges analyze up to 400 samples and can be replaced in minutes.
With a high resolution measurement range of up to 80 million cells per milliliter and a cell count analysis time of 2.5 minutes, BioProfile CDV is the ideal productivity tool for biopharmaceutical cell culturing, production, and cell-based research.
