Luna- III Automated Cell Counter

SKU: L60000 Categories: , Tag:

The Logos Biosystems LUNA IIIā„¢ is the latest generation of compact brightfield automated cell counter, providing accurate, convenient and cost effective results

Features & BenefitsĀ 

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. The LUNA III is also available to purchase as a Sustainable Package including reusable slideĀ 

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. Accurate and reliable cell sizing information is obtained for cells or particlesĀ 

Machine Learning AlgorithmsĀ 

LUNA III incorporates advanced machine learning trained algorithms first introduced in our flagship LUNA FX7. Improved cell recognition enables LUNA III to more effectively identify a broad range of cell types and accurately identify single cells in aggregated samplesĀ 

Advanced Autofocus TechnologyĀ 

LUNA III incorporates the highly effective autofocus mechanism and algorithms from the LUNA FX7, improving count accuracy and viabilityĀ 

Extensive Cell Information
Histogram with cell size gating and cluster map, provide a clearer picture of your cell populationĀ 

Increased Safety With Erythrosin BĀ 

Trypan blue, the standard dye used for cell viability assays is carcinogenic and toxic. The LUNA III is optimised for both Trypan blue and Erythrosin B, a safe alternative which effectively stains cells without those risksĀ 

Easy To Use
Intuitive colour touchscreen interface with no need for special training. Utilise the ā€˜Find Cellsā€™ feature to automatically adjust the focal plane and exposure level for optimal resultsĀ 

Re-analyse for Optimal AccuracyĀ 

LUNA III allows users to re-analyse saved counts using different protocols, allowing optimisation without the need for additional sample preparationĀ 

Flexible Data Handling
On-board storage (10GB) and enhanced data management through USB3 and ethernet connections. The front USB port supports external storage devices, whilst internally stored data can be accessed from lab computers via the network connectionĀ
