The LUNA-FX7™ is calibrated prior to shipping. Calibration only needs to be performed -1) after any software/firmware updates, and -2) after switching trypan blue or erythrosin B brands or formulations. To perform calibration: 1. Press DATE & CALIBRATION. 48 2. Press Start calibration. The Calibration Step 1 window will appear 3. Remove any counting slide…
The microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained thin and/or thick blood films (Giemsa microscopy) is the standard method of malaria diagnosis. However, the results of the diagnosis significantly depend on the skills of clinical technicians. Furthermore, sample preparation and analysis are laborious and time-consuming. Therefore, in this study, we investigated if a commercially available fluorescent cell counter,…
Accurate counts is critical for many applications for isolated nuclei samples. Especially to make sure no cell debris or intact cells are counted as nuclei. Luna FL has bright field and fluorescent counting module. Use fluorescent module with AO/PI dye will get accurate counts. Nuclei particles will be stained by PI as red dots, while…
The LUNA-FX7™ is our most powerful cell counter to date, with unmatched cell counting accuracy, a maximum counting volume of 5.1 µL (10 times that of conventional cell counters), all new optics, dual fluorescence and brightfield illumination, a fast and precise autofocus, and multichannel pipette-ready 8-channel slides to count up to eight sample simultaneously. To…
FX7 automated cell counter has bright field and fluorescent mode. Both modes are able to count yeast cells accurately. An application note is available upon request, call 1-866-692-1249 or email to info@wisbiomed.com
Maximizing research efforts on optimal fluorescent dye combinations, this recently released Application Note from the researchers at Logos Biosystems focuses on protoplast. The application note is available for free download by clicking here, or you can access it using the following link: Counting Protoplast with the LUNA-FX7™ Automated Cell Counter: Optimal Fluorescent Dye Combinations The…
Use the GFP module, you can quickly get the positive percentage without using flowcytometry equipment. Either cells expressing GFP or stained with antibody labeled with GFP, compare to the none expressing cells. you can generate the positive cells profile, size, distribution and percentage with this simple cell counter. With four counting modes, the LUNA-FL™ is…
High-Quality Bacteria Imaging Method Our bacterial cell imaging technique is originally designed for use with the QUANTOM Tx™ Microbial Cell Counter . This technique offers a simple and efficient method described below that can also be applied with the CELENA® X High Content Imaging System for high-quality imaging. 1. Mix 10 µL of the sample…
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy represents a major advance toward providing personalized cancer treatment. Unlike chemotherapy that can affect both healthy and cancerous cells, CAR-T cell therapy specifically targets tumor cells for destruction by the patient’s own immune system. Producing effective CAR-T cell therapies requires that cell number and viability be closely monitored…
Cell Counter Accuracy Cell counting is a critical step in many biological experiments. It is used to determine the number of cells in a sample, which can be used to calculate cell density, proliferation rates, and other important metrics. There are two main methods for cell counting: manual counting and automated counting. Manual counting is…
