Using the LUNA reusable slide for accurate cell counting with automated cell counters
10 Apr 2023In this application note, Logos Biosystems compares the cell counting results of the LUNA™ reusable slide, a hemocytometer, and disposable slides. Cell counting is an essential step in routine cell maintenance and for obtaining accurate and consistent experimental results. In recent years, automated cell counters have become more popular because affordable instruments have become increasingly available at competitive prices. However, many researchers still use the hemocytometer to avoid the expenses associated with the use of disposable slides. To overcome this problem, Logos Biosystems designed a reusable slide to be used with the LUNA™ family of automated cell counters.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.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.
