  1. Take xµL ofPBS in 96 well plate
  2. Add required volume of cell culture. Mix once
  3. Bring the plate back to microscope, add trypan blue to the PBS + Cell mixture just before counting the sample.

Trypan Blue is toxic to cells. If left too long with trypan blue, even healthy cells will die.


Calculation of LCD :

LCD = Cell Count/ ( 100* 4) * Dilution

Tips :

  1. Mix cells before sampling
  2. Take cell sample from top of the liquid
  3. Mix trepan blue into the PBS + cel solution slowly and well before loading
