Evaluation of the SpectraSlide AP-1 for accurate counting of splenocytes and isolated nuclei
26 Nov 2025Accurate quantification of tissue-derived samples such as splenocytes and isolated nuclei is essential for a variety of downstream applications, including immunological assays, single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), and ATAC-seq. Because of their small size, these samples are particularly difficult for image-based cell counters to analyze reliably, requiring both sensitivity and consistency.
This application note, Logos Biosystems evaluates the performance of the SpectraSlide® AP-1 paired with the LUNA-FX7™, focusing on its effectiveness in analyzing tissue-derived samples including splenocytes and isolated nuclei.

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.
