How to validate automated cell counters: Benefits of using validation slides over NIST standard beads

In this application note, Logos Biosystems explains the benefits of using validation slides over NIST standard beads. Automated cell counters have become popular for their ability to offer rapid and precise cell counting results. While beads are commonly used for validation in devices like flow cytometers and automated cell counters, they present various challenges. To address these issues, Cell Counter Validation Slides have been developed for validating the LUNA™ cell counter series. These slides offer stability and consistency, eliminating problems such as concentration manipulation and uneven distribution. Additionally, they allow for verification of total cell count and viability using both brightfield and fluorescence optics. By incorporating validation slides, researchers can save time and resources typically spent on additional experiments to ensure accuracy.
