The importance of cell counting has increased significantly in the last decade due to the major advances in the fields of cell and gene therapy, biologics production, and regenerative medicine. This has necessitated the development of a standardized approach to cell counting assays. In support of this widespread need, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), have launched a joint effort to regulate cell counting methods and improve the confidence in cell counting measurements.
