FX7 automated cell counter for somatic cell counting

Somatic cell count (SCC) is a well-established parameter used in the dairy industry to manage udder health. An increase in SCC indicates intramammary gland infection (IMI) leading to mastitis. This condition can result in poor pregnancy rates and impact milk production. Hence, dairy farms use flow cytometry-based cell counters such as the FossoMatic. Although this approach is efficient for high-throughput analysis, there is a demand for inexpensive methods of enumerating smaller sized samples in the research field.
However, SCC determination in milk is challenging due to fat and protein debris. To overcome this issue, the Somatic Cell Staining Solution has been developed for uncomplicated and straightforward SCC determination with the LUNA-FX7™. Here, we show the ability of the LUNA-FX7™ Automated Cell Counter to efficiently count somatic cells in milk using Somatic Cell Staining Solution. more https://logosbio.com/application_notes/somatic-cell-counting-using-the-luna-fx7-automated-cell-counter/
