LUNA-II™ Automated Cell Counter by Logos Biosystems

"Very nice product; extremely easy and convenient to use with the disposable slides (and still better than a hemocytometer with the reusable slide as well). The only drawback is that we have found a slight unequal distribution of cells along the chamber, so for best results we insert the slide at 3 different depths into the machine and take the average of the 3 readings."

"LUNA-II is very easy and simple to use straight out of the box! The manual included on the USB provided is very well-written and clear. It is very compact and can fit on any benchtop without taking up any excess space. The support team is quite responsive and helpful!

"It is an awesome machine to have in your lab. You simply insert the cartridge with 10µl of your cells and get your result after seconds. I usually culture more than 4 cells everyday and need to count the cell number every time. Can't imagine what I would do without this instrument. The price of the cartridge also make amazes me, being much cheaper than others. I highly recommend it to everyone who needs to count cells. It can save you a lot of time to do other things and then improve your productivity."

"I have never expected such extremely high quality with such relatively low price. What amazes me is the fact that products made by other manufacturers are far behind Luna automatic cell counter. I have been looking for some time for a device which would meet my expectations and luckily I was recommended to check Luna. It’s unbelievable how much can you get for so little. It is so easy to use, the touchscreen serves a clear and user friendly menu. For the case of making protocols, you could get a high-resolution photograph of counted cells. Luna itself is so small and I am wondering how the manufacturer was able to produce such powerful tool packed in such a very compact device. Both me and other co-workers are amazed and before choosing Luna we were testing 5 other devices. After a few minutes of testing Luna, we all agreed that we found what we have been looking for."

"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. 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."

"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."

"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."
