Master Cell Counting with Bio-Meister®!

Welcome to the world of cell culture! Bio-Meister® is a scientific game series designed to help you learn the fundamentals and techniques of biotechnology through fun illustrations and quizzes.

This time, we are introducing the English version of our popular cell counting game using a hemocytometer.

Cell Counting: Simple, yet Profoundly Important

Is your daily cell counting accurate? Counting cells with a hemocytometer is a fundamental and essential skill in cell culture. It’s a cost-effective and reliable method that doesn’t require expensive, specialized equipment. This technique is versatile, allowing you to count a wide variety of cells, including those that are difficult to separate into single cells or have protrusions. You can also distinguish between live and dead cells.

While it may seem like a simple task of counting cells within a grid under a microscope, achieving accurate results requires proper training.

Why Learn with Our Game?

In a real lab setting, it can be difficult to verify the accuracy of your counts during training. Our game provides the perfect solution! You can immediately check your answers, making it an excellent training tool to hone your skills. We hope this will be useful for practical training in a real-world setting as well.

If you get a perfect score, you are a cell counting pro!
