EASY TO USE
Operate with minimal training
The PC100 is a portable device that can be placed on any desk.
The PC100 requires no calibration and no time consuming cleaning procedures. Always ready to count.
A small sample of blood or PRP is all it takes to make an accurate count.
1. SAMPLE
Take a small sample of human venous whole blood (20 µL) or Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP] (10 µL).
2. PREPARE
Prepare the blood sample using the disposable biochemical reagent vial. Fill the disposable counting slide.
3. COUNT
Load the counting slide in the PC100 counter. Start the counting process.
4. READY
Platelet count results are typically available within 4 minutes and no later than 8 minutes.
Low cost to operate
The PC100 is a complete solution of counting device and low cost disposable kits that consist of counting slides and biochemical reagent for sample preparation.
The disposable kits are low in cost and are used once keeping cost to operate at a minimum.
Validated accuracy for whole blood and prp
Counts from low whole blood to high PRP concentrations
More on validationThe platelet validated measurement range is [20-600] platelets per nanolitre for human whole blood and [250-3600] platelets per nanolitre for Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP] samples, with an accuracy better than 95%.
The validation was performed by Maastricht UMC+, Clinical Thrombosis & Hemostasis Department in the Netherlands.
PC100™ PLATELET/ THROMBOCYTE COUNTER
The PC100 Platelet Counter is a portable point-of-care automated cell counter that accurately counts platelets / thrombocytes in whole blood or Platelet Rich Plasma [PRP]. The PC100 removes the need to count thrombocytes manually and is a cost effective, small and a flexible alternative to flowcytometers for platelet counts.
Easy, Fast & Accurate
All parts that come into contact with blood are disposable – no contamination, no cleaning time. The total blood sample preparation and automatic counting is typically done within 4 minutes.
Patented technology
The measurement principle is based on patented optical imaging technology.

Request a demonstration or more info?A point-of-care platelet counter for PRP practices, clinics and research
The PC100 is a point-of-care platelet counter: it measures the platelet concentration of whole blood and platelet rich plasma (PRP) where the sample is taken, without a laboratory, without calibration and without cleaning procedures. Its performance was validated against Sysmex hematology analyzers and it is CE-marked as an in vitro diagnostic device.
PRP quality control
The effect of PRP depends on its platelet concentration, and the real concentration varies per patient and per preparation. With the PC100 you measure the platelet count in PRP chairside, before injection, across the validated range of 250-3600 platelets/nL. Read more about the PRP platelet counter and PRP quality control.
Clinics without a laboratory
A platelet count from 20 µl of venous blood in about 4 minutes, on any desk. No sample transport, no waiting for the external laboratory. Read more about the point-of-care platelet counter for clinics, see the platelet counting applications and the comparison PC100 vs hematology analyzers.
Research laboratories
Many counts on small volumes, also at concentrations far above the whole-blood range, each with a CV and a report with images of every counted position. See the platelet counter for research labs and read about the accuracy and precision of the PC100.
Why choose the PC100 point-of-care platelet counter
- Validated for whole blood (20-600 platelets/nL) and PRP (250-3600 platelets/nL) by Maastricht UMC+.
- Results typically in 4 minutes, and always within 8.
- Only 20 µl of venous blood or 10 µl of PRP per count.
- Single-use counting slides and reagent: no calibration, no cleaning, no carry-over.
- Every result is documented in a printable, exportable report.
- Analytical performance published in a peer-reviewed study against Sysmex XP-300 and XN-9000.
