Learn how to use this product

The LUNA-II™ is an automated cell counter that can give you an ultimate brightfield cell counting experience. Once you press count, the LUNA-II™ does the rest. It brings your cells into the sharpest focus by adjusting light levels, capturing a high-resolution image, and analyzing the image to produce accurate cell count and viability data. Custom cell-specific cell counting protocols can be created, or you can use the default counting protocol suitable for most cell lines.

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.

The LUNA-II™ automated cell counter counts cell sizes ranging from 3 to 60 μm. You can verify your results immediately with the integrated counting analysis software. Easily gate your cells based on size or save your cell counting images for later analysis using different parameters. Automatically save and store results—up to 1,000 counts. Export the count data and images to a USB stick in CSV, TIF, annotated TIF, or PDF format. 

The LUNA-II™ precisely and consistently distinguishes live and dead cells from debris, providing accurate viability data. The liquid lens enables autofocusing and counting in 15 seconds, so you have all the hardware and software to trust your counting results fully.
