Streamlined aggregated cell analysis using SpectraSlide AP-1 and the LUNA-FX7 automated cell counter

26 Nov 2025

One of the most significant challenges in image-based cell counting is the difficulty in accurately segmenting cell aggregates. This issue is pronounced when working with cancer cell lines like AsPC-1 (pancreatic adenocarcinoma) and H-1975 (non-small cell lung carcinoma), which naturally tend to form tight clusters during culture.

In this application note, Logos Biosystems highlights how the SpectraSlide® AP-1, when paired with the LUNA-FX7™, delivers accurate, reproducible results even for highly aggregated cancer cell models like AsPC-1 and H-1975.
