GB/T 42076.2-2025 Officially Released

GB/T42076.2-2025 released

According to publicly available information from the National Standards Information Public Platform, the recommended national standard GB/T 42076.2-2025, "Biotechnology—Cell Counting—Part 2: Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis for Performance Evaluation of Quantitative Counting Methods," was officially released on October 31, 2025, and will come into effect on February 1, 2026.

As the drafting unit of this national standard, Guangzhou Newton Optics Research Institute Co., Ltd. and our General Manager Chen Yikang, one of the drafters of this national standard, have participated in the standard’s deliberation, preparation, and publication. This release marks our company’s significant influence in the fields of cell counting and cell analysis. This standard will provide the industry with a unified technical specification framework.

Example diagram of experimental design

Cell counting affects many aspects of biotechnology, ranging from biofabrication and medical diagnostics to advanced therapies. This national standard provides a method for evaluating quality-related aspects of cell-counting measurement processes through the design of a serial dilution experiment. Based on this experimental design, a set of quality indicators can be derived to assess the performance of cell-counting measurement processes.

Fill the standardization gap

Before the release of GB/T 42076.2-2025, the cell-counting industry lacked relevant standards and specifications, resulting in a lack of uniform technical parameters for cell-counting products, disorderly competition within the industry, and harm to the interests of research users. The issuance of this national standard fills the gap in industry standards and specifications, and will promote the orderly and healthy development of the industry.

Drafting unit

The drafting units of this national standard include industry-leading institutions such as West China School of Stomatology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, the Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Xi'an Jiaotong University. This standard reflects the consensus reached by influential players in the industry. Newton Optics has been deeply engaged in the fields of cell counting and cell analysis for many years and has established a comprehensive technical system and set of technical standards. As one of the drafting units, Newton Optics’ extensive experience has been incorporated into this standard. In both product design and testing, Newton Optics fully complies with national standard requirements; indeed, certain key parameters—such as data repeatability and stability—are even higher than those specified in the national standard.

Drafting unit

Newton’s flagship optical product, the Tuger Fully Automated Fluorescence Cell Analyzer, features a fully automated, high-throughput analysis design capable of processing six cell samples per minute. The instrument is equipped with multiple fluorescence channels and comes preloaded with analysis modes for AOPI, GFP, DAPI, organoids, and more, meeting a wide range of cellular analysis needs.

The Tuger fully automatic fluorescence cell analyzer is equipped with a self-developed AI analysis algorithm based on Newton optics. It integrates two core technologies—bright-field cell contrast enhancement and pixel-based fluorescence assignment—achieving industry-leading performance in terms of analysis speed, throughput, accuracy, and result stability.

Data Provenance and User Permission Management Features

The software design complies with the U.S. FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 regulations and features built-in multi-level user permission management. The super administrator account can create other member accounts for this device, assign permissions to these accounts, and reset their passwords. All user actions are meticulously logged and cannot be deleted or modified.

List of Some Users

Thanks to their outstanding product performance, professional software design, and comprehensive functional applications, the Newton optical cell analysis product series has cultivated a loyal user base in the pharmaceutical industry, including BGI, Hengrui Medicine, Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical, and Tasly Pharmaceutical.
