Small yet powerful, the LUNA-II™ is cell counting convenience at its finest. Simply insert your sample and the LUNA-II™ does the rest: autofocus, adjust light, and count in just 15 seconds.

The LUNA-II™ is an automated cell counter that gives you the ultimate brightfield cell counting experience. Press count and the LUNA-II™ does the rest – bringing your cells into the sharpest focus, adjusting light levels, capturing a high-resolution image, and analyzing the image to produce accurate cell count and viability data. You can create custom, cell-specific cell counting protocols or simply use the default counting protocol suitable for most cell lines or a PBMC protocol optimized for human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Live cells are tagged with green circles and dead cells are tagged with red circles, making it easy to verify the accuracy of each count. This little counter sits comfortably in a cell culture hood or on your benchtop to fit seamlessly into your workflow.

WHAT THE LUNA-II™ DOES BEST

• 

  AUTOFOCUSED COUNTING IN 15 SECONDSAn autofocusing liquid lens and advanced software produce concentration
  and viability data in as little as 15 seconds.

• 

  ACCURATE VIABILITY DATAThe LUNA-II™ can precisely and consistently distinguish live and dead cells from debris.

• 

  ADVANCED CLUSTER ANALYSISClumpy cells? No problem. An advanced declustering algorithm detects individual cells in clusters.

• 

  SIMPLE RECORDKEEPINGPrint data with the built-in printer or export high-resolution images, data,
  and full data reports via USB.

Testimonials

• Clémence Jacquemin, PhDINSERM

  Rapid, simple, reliable. This product is easy to use. The fact that one can use a reusable blade is an advantage in terms of cost when one line is to be counted. The results are reliable, we have compared them to those obtained in Molasses cells, against the concentration must be close to 1×10 ^ 6 cells / mL. I am very satisfied with this purchase, which is unanimous within the team.

• Paul Kim, PhDGrambling State University

  This is a nice automated cell counter that is well worth considering. We count cells to set up experiments with a consistent number of input cells and to express the resulting data accurately. An automated cell counter makes this a quick, painless, reproducible process. Tip: get the one with the printer!

• Tracey GeneauGreenfield Ethanol

  I’m testing the LUNA-II and it works great. I work for an ethanol plant and our operators count yeast. This will be a great way to streamline the yeast count results. It will also please our operators.
