LUNA-II™ Automated Cell Counter by Logos Biosystems, Inc

"Efficient, fast and true-to-life device for counting cells. The only negative point is the lack of choice of the "with or without blue" parameter when creating a counting program. Moreover, there is nothing on the home screen to know if the trypan blue parameter is activated or not and we must check each time, in the parameters of the device, the count with or without blue trypan before we do our counting. A small suggestion would be to have more on the home screen (top right accompanying the name of the selected program for example), a blue trypan icon checked or not to have a quick information on this parameter."

"Device is really easy to use. Providing a reusable blade is a real advantage when you have a very frequent use of the device, it reduces the cost of consumables. The data obtained is reliable and reproducible. Small disadvantage: for some lines, the device does not seem to count correctly (low cell concentration and very low viability obtained on LunaII compared to the results obtained in cell Malassez). Perhaps it is due to the fact that these cells are deformed base? For having the ability to use another cell counter of another brand, the count on the LunaII is two to three times longer. But the team and I are nevertheless satisfied with the product!"

"We've had this product in the lab for about 2 years now and I have to say it really improved the cell culture experience. It makes cell counting more precise, something we tested at the beginning. It gives accurate cell number, avoiding the counting by eye. Also, preparing samples and loading them is fast and easy, so you can count several cell lines in just few minutes. The after sales care have always been available whenever we had questions, which is always valuable. All in all, I am truly thankful we get to have this product in the lab, it really makes our work easier."

"This product is easy to use. The fact that one can use a reusable blade is an advantage in terms of cost when one line is to be counted. The results are reliable, we have compared them to those obtained in Molasses cells, against the concentration must be close to 1x10 ^ 6 cells / mL. I am very satisfied with this purchase, which is unanimous within the team."
