"Quick and efficient method to count cells! The design of the instrument and protocol are simple to follow and leave room for minimal error. Fixes any issues with sticky cells that are difficult to count on other brands of cell counters. We love our Luna!"

"Easy to use and really fast ! Disposable plates are really pratical for contaminated cells (with bacteria for example) !"

"I was truly happy when our company decided to go with the Luna II counter. Before we used a older system that ended up taking a decent amount of time and the slides were messy. I love that the Luna slides have a well so the liquid stays in the slide. I absolutely love that it automatically counts all the frames for you. Again we would manually have to choose frames to count and it can be time consuming. I would encourage the end user to do the demo to fully understand how the machine works and if it the right fit. However, it is extremely easy to use as long as you keep track and enter in the proper title for the counts for organization on the excel file. Great product."

"The LUNA-FL is very easy to use and gives reproducible results for cell counting, especially for the "difficult" single cell suspensions, prepared from fresh tumor tissue. Here, the use of the LUNA-FL is crucial for counting as it can distinguish very well between live cells / dead cells and cell debris. For all our applications (e.g. organoid seeding), an accurate cell count is essential. Also, I like the tagging option to analyze the cell count as well as the possibility to save the data on a USB stick for later."

"Fast and easy to use"

"The cell counter is extremely easy to use. There is an option for reusable counting slides which can lower the cost of required consumables. The "tag" feature for tagging the live and dead cells counted is helpful in determining the accuracy of each count and the ability to gate the cell size is brilliant when you are dealing with background debris. It fast, has a small footprint and data can be collected on a USB."

"I have been using this LUNA counter for one year, it’s simple and easy. it comes with the reagents. The accuracy of the cell count is very important with the viability of cells. It is easy for multiplex samples."

"Precise counts. They AO/PI dye mix doesn't stain debris, thus allowing accurate viable cell count which is a prerequisite for single cell analysis. We have been using it in the lab extensively and are happy with the results, we've recently ordered our second machine."

"The cell counter is easy to use and saves time especially when you have numerous samples. The machine is accurate and the results are reproducible. Slides are a bot expensive but absolutely worth it. you can get reusable slides for cost saving. Can do multiple cell types and methods of counting."

"The LUNA II automated cell counter is an user-friendly, highly accurate and very compact instrument recently installed in our department. In most of my experiment, I use this instrument in critical cell counting step which has major impact on test results. Using this cell counter, I regularly ended up with accurate and repeatable test results. I highly recommend this instrument in both R and D, clinical research, industrial and pathology laboratory."

"We achieve high quality result, and quick. It's easy to use, easy to see. It's value for money because slides is cheaper than others. So fashionable color!!"

"Fast and user friendly"

"This product is easy to use. The slides are disposable, which is very fast and convenient. I have never had any issues with these slides. The company sent them very fast, and updated my order every step of the way! Thank you!"

"I was able to obtain good agreement between the PI channel of the Luna FL and my own manual haemocytometer counting of nuclei stained with DAPI at a fraction of the time. One caveat would be false 'viability' given from background staining of AO on tissue debris but it could be useful in determining the level of debris from the isolation."

"The Luna was easy to use, results were reproducible. The save image feature worked very well for separating counts for various groups, making it easier to organize data in excel."

"This system is effective in counting cells/mL for Protozoa cells dyed with trypan blue. Images can be saved and reviewed for manual counts. This gives the user a good idea of how to experiment with parameter specifications for even more accuracy. The cell count data excel file needs to be labeled properly by the user in order to effectively analyze data quantitatively. The end user needs to demo the system and figure this out on their own. An overall great system for quick accurate counts at cost."

"Excellent device, produces reliable cell counts and saves you a lot of time with a good workflow."

"Other cell counters (trypan blue method) sometimes detected debris, but Luna fL can use AO/PI, so it does not detect debris. The reproducibility of the AO/PI method is high, which is very useful for experiments. It would be great if there was autofocus, as it would be troublesome to manually focus each cell count."

"I am using this machine since 2017, and now, I am at another university and purchased this again because I simply trust it. In addition it has better options like gating cells and its lower limit of detection is 3 micrometers which is one of my attractions to it. I will try to make its use for platelet count, If I am successful will let you know."

"I think Luna Cell counter is the best help in a lab: easy to use and without any type of error! It's very important to use accurate instrument working in a lab and Cell Counter confirm your expectations!"

Also doing and redoing counting using a tick-counter and neubauer chamber in hurry is problematic. This LUNA-II counter is exact answer to those problems and makes my job easier!"

"The product is effective and accurate for counting. This product is really easy to use and saves our lab so much time counting cells! Many times, we count cells from tissues and have over 50 samples to count which would take forever manually."

"The counter is well-designed and simple to use. Compared to my previous counter, it performs better and more accurate. Highly recommended!"

"East to use. Speeds-up multiple sample processing. But the disposoble slides are pricy."

"I was using a hemocytometer to count cells from patient fluid samples. This device saves me so much time and provides a precise and accurate cell count, including live and dead cells. It can even be programmed to count big and small cells, which is especially useful for processing tumor samples."

"It's a great tool for counting cells in a suspension. In contrast to old counting methods such as the Neubauer method, this product facilitates the counting around world. Counting can be done faster, and more accurately and the operation is straightforward and therefore easy to use. The only disadvantage is, that it's a little expensive. But the high throughput is definitely recommended and worth the money."

"Many people are using cell culture in the lab from highly experimented technicians to new trainees. Errors were often made in the way to count cells and time was wasted. Thanks to the Luna II we can now count effectively, rapidly, and reproducibly our cells to get more reproducible results between two experimenters and we win time to have more coffee breaks between colleagues ;)"

"Great product! Easy to use and very reliable device."

"After I started using Luna, other cell counters were just not as good. It is simple, easy, and very reliable. We usually count different types of cells like tumor cells or cells in co-culture and our results are always reproducible. Luna is a must-have piece of equipment in our lab!!"
