Abstract: A measuring cuvette for counting and/or characterizing cells, the measuring cuvette including a base and a transparent lateral enclosure extending from the base so as to form with the latter an optical measurement chamber; the base having a through-orifice with a diameter of 30 to 100 ?m for cells to pass through, characterized in that the base and the transparent lateral enclosure form a one-piece cuvette suitable both for impedance measurement and for optical measurement. Also, a system for characterizing cells, which includes the measuring cuvette.
