DeLaval launches somatic cell counting device


cell counterDeLaval Inc. introduced the Cell Counter ICC™, an optical somatic cell counting device designed to help save time and testing costs. Used in conjunction with an iPod touch® (sold separately), the device provides results in less than a minute. The DeLaval ICC works in conjunction with an app available through Apple’s App Store. Features include the ability to store and track individual cow results, and record the specific quarter of the udder being tested. Results may be emailed directly from the iPod® and analyzed by date, test results and cow tag number.

Powered by a 9-volt battery, DeLaval Cell Counter ICC is extremely portable. The device works by illuminating milk samples with a specific frequency LED light emission. The light causes somatic cells to fluoresce and the image is captured with specialized optics. The image is shown to the camera lens of an attached iPod touch to give a preliminary estimate of the SCC present.
