Cell Counting; Hemocytometer

2
Example 1
Suppose a student counted 170 cells in
ten squares of a hemocytometer and did not dilute his
cells with trypan blue or additional medium. Since the
cell sample has not been combined with anything the
dilution factor is 1. What is culture’s cell concentration?
3
Answer
(170 cells total)(104)(1) /(10 squares) = 1.7 x 105 cells/mL
4
Example 2
Before placing a sample into the hemocytometer
a student combined 75 μL of cell suspension
with 75 μL of trypan blue for staining. If this student
counted 225 living cells in 10 squares, what is the concentration
of living cells in this cell culture?
5
Answer
(225 cells total)(104)(2) / (10 squares) = 4.5 x 105 cells/mL
6
Example 3
Before placing a sample into the hemocytometer
a student combined 50 μL of cell suspension
with 50 μL of trypan blue for staining. If this student
counted 350 living cells in 10 squares, (Part A) What is
the concentration of this cell culture? (Part B) If the
cell sample came from a culture with a total volume of
7.50 mL, what is the total number of cells in this culture?
7
Part A Answer
(350 cells total)(104)(2) / (10 squares) = 7.0 x 105 cells/mL
8
Part B Answer
(7.0 x 105 cells/ml)( 7.50 mL) = 5.25 x 106 cells total
