Luna FL Automated Fluorescence Cell Counter
Dual fluorescence and brightfield automated cell counter
Dual fluorescence optics and AO/PI nuclear staining make the Logos Biosystems Luna fl automated cell counter the perfect choice for counting primary cells and PBMCs
Nuclear Staining
Dual fluorescence counting using AO (acridine orange) and PI (propidium iodide) ensures accurate viability for even the most challenging cell types (e.g PBMCs). Automatically counts cells excluding debris and non-nucleated cells
Affordable Running Costs
Low cost disposable slides or use the optional Luna reusable slide to further reduce ongoing costs as well as save on plastic waste
Accurate and Reliable Data
Large counting volume of 0.5 microlitres (equivalent to 5 large haemocytometer squares) provides count and viability data you can rely upon
Extensive Cell Information
Histogram with cell size gating and cluster map, provide a clearer picture of your cell population
Easy To Use
Intuitive colour touchscreen interface with no need for special training. Premixed AO/PI staining solution and preset protocol.
Flexible Data Handling
Export count, image or report data for offline viewing or sharing
