Vitr builds CellCount: cell counts and trypan blue viability from the microscope a lab already owns, one counting protocol shared by everyone who counts, and every count kept with its image and the name of the person who accepted it.
CellCount does it for cell counting: automated counts and viability for the lab that would rather not buy another benchtop instrument. A camera on the microscope port, a phone at the eyepiece, or the images you already have, including the frames your automated counter exports.
It works with the hardware and consumables a lab already has, and it is easy from the first count. That is how we are building the most accessible cell counter in the world.
CellCount runs on any brand of microscope, camera and counting chamber, including the ones a lab already has. Equipment we offer, on our own or with partners, is there to make getting started easier.
Count in the chambers and slides you already buy, from whichever supplier the lab prefers. Switching brands does not mean switching how you count.
Counting cells should not take a manual, a training day or a call to an expert. We design for the person at the bench, so getting started feels obvious, and so does every count after it.
Vitr is the brand of Lowkey Vision AS. Most labs start with a call and a demo on their own samples, with one of the founders.

Three short videos show CellCount at work: a count from one photo of a hemocytometer, a count on a phone held to the eyepiece, and full image mode for a frame where the whole grid does not fit. They are on the Products page, under See it in use.
Vitr, the company behind CellCount, is part of Microsoft for Startups. Its partner badge now sits with our other supporters on the home page and the Company page, as it does on cellcount.ai.
The live demo on cellcount.ai now opens on the total count, live and dead cells together, with clumps counted separately and never in the cell count. A switch on the result reads Total count and + Viability, so a reader can add the trypan blue live and dead split in one tap, and switch back. The demo still counts two corner squares of a real sample in the browser, with no account.
