Logos Biosystems LUNA automated cell counters

Although manual cell counting methods are straightforward and allow the behaviour and viability of cells to be monitored, they can be time-consuming and highly subjective. Cell counters from Logos Biosystems are equipped with high-quality optics and sophisticated software, designed to allow cell concentration and viability data to be captured quickly and precisely — it’s as simple as pressing Count.

Suitable for labs on a budget, the LUNA II automated cell counter is designed for fast brightfield cell counting. The standalone instrument has been designed to integrate precision optics with autofocus to optimise light levels and to capture high-resolution images while image analysis software enables cell count and viability data. Live cells are tagged with green circles and dead cells are tagged with red circles, making it easy to verify the accuracy of each count. The compact cell counter sits comfortably in a cell culture hood or on a lab benchtop.

The LUNA-FX7 is the most advanced member of the LUNA cell counter family and has been designed to meet the highest demands in counting accuracy and data compliance. It includes dual fluorescent and brightfield detection, an advanced de-clustering algorithm, precision autofocus and 21 CFR PART 11 compliance. It has built-in quality control features and precise validation slides for monitoring QC and bioprocesses.

Other counters include the LUNA FL, which uses dual fluorescence and brightfield optics to determine cell count, cell viability and GFP transfection efficiency without being limited by cell type or size; and the LUNA STEM, which takes adipose-derived stem cell and SVF samples to count live nucleated cells, dead nucleated cells and non-nucleated cells. Microbial cell counters such as the LUNA II YF and QUANTOM Tx can produce single yeast and bacterial cell counts.

The entire series of cell counters offers the option for LUNA reusable or disposable and multi-chamber slides, to deliver the convenience desired while maintaining high standards for cell counting.
