Can anyone suggest an appropriate statistical test to analyse my vesicular trafficking data in cells?

The experimental plan included 2 groups with 8 cell lines in each group. For each cell line 10 cells were chosen randomly and at least 300 vesicles were tracked in each cell. I now want to compare...

I recommend you the ViCell-XR from BeckmannCoulter.

If you have another device in mind, check the reagents price which will make the difference on the long run.

David Polcari

We use the Biorad TC20 ... it works great and is very easy. The special chips they use are about 1$ each (two counts per chip).

Ratneswary Sutharsan

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Thomas Brendan Smith

Hi Ratneswary,

I understand you are after a platform that can perform automatic counts, however I thought I'd share this free app I developed.

You have to manually count cells, but average cell counts and percentage viability is calculated for you.
