LUNA™ Family of Automated Cell Counters

In this application note, Logos Biosystems explains the benefits of using validation slides over NIST standard beads. Automated cell counters have become popular for their ability to offer rapid and precise cell counting results. While beads are commonly used for validation in devices like flow cytometers and automated cell counters, they present various challenges. To address these issues, Cell Counter Validation Slides have been developed for validating the LUNA™ cell counter series. These slides offer stability and consistency, eliminating problems such as concentration manipulation and uneven distribution. Additionally, they allow for verification of total cell count and viability using both brightfield and fluorescence optics. By incorporating validation slides, researchers can save time and resources typically spent on additional experiments to ensure accuracy.

Automation addresses many of the cell counting challenges faced by the modern lab and the latest image-based automated cell counters are essential in delivering cell concentration and viability data with greater accuracy, reliability, and higher throughput than ever before.

Through case studies, this eBook highlights a range of automated cell counters from Logos Biosystems that are designed to address all your cell counting needs. Explore different technical features and applications, and see how expanding cell counting capacity with the latest automated solutions can reduce budgets and improve workflows in labs of all shapes and sizes.

Automated cell counters can provide fast and precise cell counting results, but it is essential to validate their accuracy to ensure reliable cell counting results. Beads are frequently used for validating devices such as flow cytometers and automated cell counters. However, there are various issues associated with using beads. Logos Biosystems explores the cell counting standard and the advantages of utilizing Cell Counter Validation Slides for validating the LUNA™ cell counter series.

In this application note, Logos Biosystems compares the cell counting results of the LUNA™ Reusable Slide, a hemocytometer, and disposable slides.

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.
