"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 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."

"The LUNA II automated cell counter is an user-friendly, highly accurate and very compact instrument recently installed in our department.

"I can’t believe in my previous lab we needed to count the cells in the traditional way, a lot of precious time being wasted. When I use the LUNA-II to follow the growth of my EXPI cells, normally I measure the same slides in duplicate only moving the slide a little to have another field to count and the results are always reproducible. In the protocols you can set up the counter using different parameters, like the diameter of your cells, factor of dilutions, so at the end you have just to write down your concentration and the viability of the cells, which is showed in the folder of results. When I arrived in this new lab, there was already the LUNA-II, for this reason I don't know how much the cost was, but for sure is worth since in less than 5 min you have your measurement! You only need to mix the correct amount of Blue staining dye with an aliquot of your cells, charge it on the slide and ready to measure! It’s fast, reliable, and efficient!"
