Ask The Brewmasters

I was wondering if anyone had another source for the SD100 slides for counting yeast in a cellometer K2.  Apparently Nexcelom merged with another company and they now want to charge $125 to ship a box of 75 slides (used to cost me $22 back in Oct 2022 before the merge.)  I did call them and they confirmed that this is the new price for shipping. 

This is the product that I am talking about Sd100 Counting Chambers 1 Case-CHT4-SD100-014-CHT4-SD100-002|PerkinElmer

Hi Scott

Unfortunately I'm not a lot of help here, but Fisher Scientific used to sell them for higher price and lower shipping, but they appear to be discontinued there now.  They have a customer service number of 1-800-766-7000 part number NC0057157.  Might have some other suggestions if you call them, but maybe they just redirect you to nexcelom

Hey Scott,
  This isnt a super ideal option but we end up buying the pack of 900 that lasts us almost a whole year and you end up saving like 1000$. Its a big investment but worth it if you know they will be used!
