User friendly and compact
Immunology
The machine works well, with reproducible results. It is user-friendly, occupies little space and does not require a computer to operate. The only small thing I would say is that it is slightly slower than other automatic counters I have tried, but it is completely usable.

The LUNA-II™ is an automated cell counter that gives you the ultimate brightfield cell counting experience. Press count and the LUNA-II™ does the rest – bringing your cells into the sharpest focus, adjusting light levels, capturing a high-resolution image, and analyzing the image to produce accurate cell count and viability data. Create custom, cell-specific cell counting protocols or simply use the default counting protocol suitable for most cell lines or a PBMC protocol optimized for human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. 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. This little counter sits comfortably in a cell culture hood or on your benchtop to fit seamlessly into your workflow.
- AUTOFOCUSED COUNTING IN 15 SECONDS
- An autofocusing liquid lens and advanced software produce concentration and viability data in as little as 15 seconds.
- THE LOWEST COST PER COUNT, THE GREATEST CONVENIENCE
- Whether you use our disposable precision slides for increased convenience or our budget-friendly LUNA reusable slide, our cell counters deliver accurate and reliable counts every. single. time.
- ACCURATE VIABILITY DATA
- The LUNA-II™ can precisely and consistently distinguish live and dead cells from debris.
- ADVANCED CLUSTER ANALYSIS
- Clumpy cells? No problem. An advanced declustering algorithm detects individual cells in clusters.
- SIMPLE RECORDKEEPING
- Print data with the built-in printer or export high-resolution images, data, and full data reports via USB.

Using the LUNA reusable slide for accurate cell counting with automated cell counters
In this application note, Logos Biosystems compares the cell counting results of the LUNA™ reusable slide, a hemocytometer, and disposable slides. Cell counting is an essential step in routine cell maintenance and for obtaining accurate and consistent experimental results. In recent years, automated cell counters have become more popular because affordable instruments have become increasingly available at competitive prices. However, many researchers still use the hemocytometer to avoid the expenses associated with the use of disposable slides. To overcome this problem, Logos Biosystems designed a reusable slide to be used with the LUNA™ family of automated cell counters.

New trends and innovations in automated cell counting
Cell counting remains an essential process across fundamental research, clinical applications and bioproduction.
As science continues to advance, there is a growing demand for faster, higher-throughput, and more tailored cell counting solutions.
While automated techniques address many of these demands, challenges including sample prep, technology compatibility, cost efficiency, and compliance remain.
Recent innovations in software and hardware, including the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning, focus on enhancing accuracy and efficiency in cell counting.
Karine Labour, Europe Managing Director for Logos Biosystems, will explain how current and developing techniques support researchers reaching the critical milestone of data standardization, accuracy, and reproducibility in cell counting.
