Introduction and intended use
The NucleoCounter SCC-100 is intended for use for the determination of somatic cell
concentration in milk samples.
The instrument is a part of the NucleoCounter SCC-100 System, which also comprises the
disposable SCC-Cassette and the lysis buffer (Reagent C).
The NucleoCounter SCC-100 System allows reliable, fast and objective somatic cell
counting to be carried out based on an automated method of fluorescence microscopy.
The system enables the user to stain and count cells with good protection against being
exposed to potentially hazardous DNA staining dyes.
The NucleoCounter SCC-100 is developed as a stand-alone instrument but optionally it
can be connected to an external printer or to a computer via an USB-interface. When
connected to a computer the SomaticView software offers various features such as
documentation of the obtained results. For further description of the software please
refer to the SomaticView User’s Guide.
The NucleoCounter SCC-100 has the ChemoMetec part number 900-0200. Refer to
section 9.1 with respect to other part numbers of the items of the NucleoCounter
SCC-100 System.
The NucleoCounter SCC-100 System is not intended for human or veterinary diagnostic
purposes.
