Streamlined aggregated cell analysis using SpectraSlide AP-1 and the LUNA-FX7 automated cell counter
26 Nov 2025One of the most significant challenges in image-based cell counting is the difficulty in accurately segmenting cell aggregates. This issue is pronounced when working with cancer cell lines like AsPC-1 (pancreatic adenocarcinoma) and H-1975 (non-small cell lung carcinoma), which naturally tend to form tight clusters during culture.
In this application note, Logos Biosystems highlights how the SpectraSlide® AP-1, when paired with the LUNA-FX7™, delivers accurate, reproducible results even for highly aggregated cancer cell models like AsPC-1 and H-1975.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell AnalysisThe analysis of cells allows researchers to understand the factors which contribute to cell health and function. These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.Aggregation
