The Simplest Automatic Benchtop cell Counter for High Throughput Parallel Culture Monitoring
The NORMA HT, based on the new lens-less technology, is a fully automatic cell counter for high throughput cell culture monitoring up to 24 samples in parallel. It rapidly measures cell concentration and viability without repeatability compromise. The NORMA HT provides an unmatched accuracy and precision thanks to its wide field of view (29.4 mm2) that allows counting several thousand of cells within a single sample image! No need to adjust focus, brightness or any other parameters, our algorithm will reconstruct cells wherever cells are located… from a few micrometres to some millimetres! There is no sample preparation: no dilution and no Trypan Blue! The NORMA HT is ready for receiving the sample from the robotic arms of a parallel micro bioreactor, an automatic sampler or even pipette.

What are the results of our High Throughput Cell Count & Cell Viability Analyzer ?
The technology directly acquires the light diffraction properties of each individual cells through their hologram images without any objectives, lens of focus settings. Living and dead cells have significant holographic patterns that can be distinguished and accurately counted. The measurements are analysed by the HORUS software. All measures result is processed by our HORUS software.
HORUS returns the number of cells counted, the viability and the cell size. Each parameter is visible on a simple graphic with the possibility to follow several running cultures on user friendly charts. The acquisition time is only a few seconds per sample!

F.A.Q.
The NORMA SCAN is an innovative automated cell counter and cell viability analyzer designed for precise and accurate cell counting, offering unmatched convenience and reliability.
The NORMA SCAN boasts several key features:
- Automatic cell count and viability analysis
- Small device footprint
- Sample preparation-free operation
- Rapid results within a short time frame
- High repeatability for consistent performance
- Low sample volume requirement
- Compatibility with the Trypan Blue method for reference matching
The NORMA SCAN utilizes state-of-the-art lens-less technology to rapidly measure cell concentration and viability without compromising accuracy. Its wide field of view enables the counting of several thousand cells within a single sample image. With no need for adjustments, such as focus or brightness, users can simply deposit their sample onto the measuring slide, making it exceptionally user-friendly.
The NORMA SCAN directly acquires the light diffraction properties of individual cells through hologram images, enabling precise cell segmentation. The results, generated by the accompanying HORUS software, provide detailed insights into cell viability, size distribution, aspect ratios, and growth curves, presented in a user-friendly graphical interface.
Using the NORMA SCAN is effortless:
- Extract your unprepared sample using the provided pipette (label-free, undiluted).
- Load the sample into the slide chamber.
- Insert the slide into the NORMA SCAN and press measure.
