Logos Biosystems announces the release of the LUNA-BX7 automated cell counter

Logos Biosystems is proud to announce the release of the LUNA-BX7^™ automated cell counter designed for high performance brightfield cell counting, making it the newest member of the award-winning LUNA^™ family of automated cell counters.

Using the design of the popular LUNA-FX7^™ automated cell counter with dual-fluorescence and brightfield optics, the LUNA-BX7^™ offers the same high throughput and high performance with brightfield-only optics providing a cost-effective solution for labs with multiple applications, multiple users or a higher volume of daily cell counts.

Unique to the LUNA-BX7^™ is the LUNA-BX7^™ to LUNA-FX7^™ upgrade pathway. This option enables users to add dual-fluorescence optics to the LUNA-BX7^™ essentially converting the system into a LUNA-FX7^™. The upgrade pathway is ideal for labs that may need fluorescence capabilities in the future, but current needs and budget constraints make a brightfield cell counter the optimal choice.

Like the LUNA-FX7^™, the LUNA-BX7^™ features machine-learning capabilities as well as superior precision and sensitivity thanks to the advanced software and de-clustering algorithms which return consistent, reproducible results. The

The LUNA-BX7^™ offers quality control features plus the optional bioprocessing mode and optional CountWire^™ software for compliance with GMP manufacturing compliance.

“The LUNA-BX7^™ is another example of our commitment to offer quality imaging equipment to labs of all sizes and research applications at an affordable price point,’ commented Neon Jung, PhD, Logos Biosystems’ CEO. ‘Customer feedback has been key in developing a product pipeline that meets the needs of research labs today,’ he continued.

Similar to the LUNA-FX7^™, the LUNA-BX7^™ offers multiple disposable slide formats. This includes 1-, 2-, 3-, and 8-chamber slide configurations for brightfield cell counting. With these slide formats, users can view up to 47 counting fields compared with 1-3 counting fields offered by comparable systems. The user-friendly software makes it easy to navigate between individual slide chambers, so no chamber goes unused.

The system is also compatible with the eco-friendly LUNA^™ Reusable Slide offering an environmentally friendly and budget-friendly option. This is important for labs that can’t risk cross-contamination, and need the flexibility offered with disposable slides.

Other accessories available for the LUNA-BX7^™ include LUNA^™ standard beads for calibration, external printer, brightfield validation slide, IQ/OQ protocol as well as related reagents.

In September of 2024, Logos Biosystems released the LUNA-III^™ , adding to its’ award-winning line of LUNA^™ automated cell counters which includes the popular LUNA-II^™, LUNA-FL^™, and LUNA-FX7^™ automated cell counters.
