Ideally could have a function to edit certain cells from device screen and edit tags, remove debris tagged, or add missed cells. Also could be nice to have dilution factors other than whole number."

"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!"

It is easy to update the software version from the website. It is a lot faster than manually counting using a hemocytometer and removes counter variability. Set cell numbers for different cells lines to seed flasks and plates can now be standardized. By purchasing the reusable cell counter slide we can reduce our plastic waste and they are easy to clean with dH2O and dry using a tissue. Being able to switch to the cell screen to see what it counts as a cell (circled in green) and as trash/ debris (circled in red) with the option of increasing the magnification is great to determine if the settings need to be changed for a specific cell line. Automatic cell counters like this are a life saver when needing to seed multiple cell lines for an experiment. The Luna II was the cheapest automatic cell counter that I found, and we haven't regretted it!"

"We purchased the Luna II to replace our normal cell counting on hemocytometers. Once we optimized the settings for our cell size, shape, and color, the Luna II could give us the same estimated densities in 15 seconds rather than 5 minutes. We are also able to stain our cells with trypan blue for viability counts at the same time. This time-saving machine is also accurate in distinguishing plant cells from junk and giving close approximations to the ones we typically make with glass hemacytometers."

"Really easy to use with great results. Love the auto focus feature."
