Validation of SpectraSlide AP-1 for reliable CHO-K1 and HEK293 cell counting and viability assays
26 Nov 2025Mammalian cell lines such as CHO-K1 and HEK293 are essential for the production of therapeutic proteins, monoclonal antibodies, and viral vectors, and are widely utilized in biopharmaceutical research and development. These cell lines are preferred for their robust protein expression, human-compatible post-translational modifications, and suitability for both transient and stable expression systems.
In this application note, Logos Biosystems evaluates the performance of the SpectraSlide® AP-1 for viability and concentration analysis of CHO-K1 and HEK293 cells using the LUNA-FX7™, and compare its results to those obtained with the PhotonSlide™.
