Introducing the SpectraSlide AP-1: A convenient one-touch solution for rapid cell analysis
26 Nov 2025Automated cell counters, like the LUNA-FX7™, have revolutionized cell counting by replacing traditional labor-intensive methods. However, the process still requires additional labware and staining dyes, which can be challenging for beginners and those with limited access to laboratory resources.
In this study, Logos Biosystems conducted a comparative analysis of SpectraSlide® AP-1 and PhotonSlide™, as PhotonSlide™ is already widely used as a standard for cell counting. Using U937 and PBMC samples, we assessed their linearity in measuring cell concentration and viability to validate the precision and effectiveness of the SpectraSlide® AP-1.

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.

These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.
