LUNA™ Family of Automated Cell Counters by Logos Biosystems

"The product is great, it's easy to use and you can set different protocols to better recognize different type of cells."

"Our laboratory previously used a Thermo Fisher cell counting machine. Due to the increased use of the equipment, we decided to purchase a new cell counter and purchased the LUNA FX7. What is especially nice about this equipment is that it can measure up to eight samples at once! In addition, even small, difficult-to-focus cells such as PBMC-T cells can now be measured automatically without difficulty. Previously, we had to manually adjust the focus and could only measure two samples at a time, so this is a wonderful advancement in this equipment. The sales support representatives are also very helpful. I would purchase another one in addition."

"The cell counter is easy to use and reliable. I am mainly using it with brightfield mode (with trypan blue). My colleague use the fluorescent mode quite extensively. No more manual counting for cell passaging, electroporation etc. Really satisfied. One can also adjust the cell size and other counting parameters. Great!"

"- intuitive, easy to use - fast - small - very good replacement for the outdated Countess"

"In our lab, we use the Luna Automated cell counter daily for counting when seeding various types of cell lines. Automated couting sped up our routine workflow. Th seeding of cells became more accurate and less error-prone. I can highly recommend this instrument."

"Marvellous instrument! Easy to use! Easy to perform and provide us accurate and reliable results"

"It's a great product! We initially used it for its speed and reliability in counting cells in large experiments. That was the initial approach, with the idea of ​​continuing to use the Neubauer chamber for routine counting and cell maintenance, but once we tried this device, no one wants to use a Neubauer again. For me, one of the most important points is that it provides an average of cell size, and when working in the field of senescence, it is very important information and it is given to you very quickly."

"Easy to use and handle, cells can be counted without any problem easily. Stains such as trypan blue and fluorescent stains can be used. Live and dead cells are differentiated easily."

"The product is very easy to handle and very effective in counting cells and calculations"

With the LUNA-II we can get it done less than half the time! Being able to set protocols for different types of cells with various characteristics is also a plus and gives more accurate counting. We use it daily in our lab and can't imagine not having it at this point!"

"The LUNA II is incredibly user friendly when it comes to loading samples into either the disposable or reusable slides and the user interface to set up protocols, etc.. Compared to other demos we were given to help us with counting bead conjugations, the LUNA II is incredible. Our lab loves the reusable slide; the cover slip does not slide around or fall off and is very secure. Even with some lab tech error of loading the sample into the reusable slide, it seemed near impossible for a spill to occur."

"We use Luna-II Automated Cell Counter almost every day and we absolutely love it. Its main advantage is, obviously, that is much faster than traditional Neubauer chamber, so we save a lot of time. In addition, we purchased disposable chambers so we can forget about cleaning -faster, easier... wonderful. Moreover, it is really user-friendly, we have no issues introducing novel protocols for counting different cell types. I strongly recommend purchasing an automated cell counter to each research group that works with cell culture, you'll really notice the improvement."

The results are fast and very reproducible."

"This product is convenient, with a small footprint, and easy to use"

"Our lab relies heavily on the Luna - it's quick and easy to use, and I know it will give me an accurate count! It's particularly great when I'm short on time because I can simply load the settings for a protocol that I've created previously and then I can count multiple samples efficiently. I manually adjust the focus to get the best and most accurate results, but the interface is clear and easy to use. All of our lab members use this piece of equipment daily, and it makes a huge impact on the lab while taking up minimal benchtop space. We highly recommend the Luna!"

"Working with Luna II automated cell counter is so easy and efficient in comparison to counting cells under the microscope. The single-use slides are so easy to use and the LCD display gives you the opportunity to view in real-time what's being counted.
