Cell Counters

Automated cell counting, make it easy

Cell counting is a general quality control analysis in research. Automated cell counters are equipped with high-quality optics and innovative software to bring you cell concentrations with high speed and viable, accurate, and reliable data.

We fully recommend the implementation of automated cell counters in the lab. They make your workflow easier, and faster. Results are accurate and reproducible. They do not differ between operator measurements, so researchers can now be confident in their results.

Are you based in the Benelux, Spain, Portugal, or the UK? Look at our cell counters that will help you with your countings!

From Manual to Automated - More Accurate and Reliable data

Automated cell counters have dramatically changed cell counting workflow, removing subjectivity, saving time, and resulting in higher statistical accuracy than manual counting.

From a historical point of view, the hemocytometer has been the standard method for counting cells manually in cell culture research since 1874. The first hemocytometer was a thick glass slide with a grid and known volume that enabled users to count cell concentration manually. This device was originally developed for blood sample analysis and upgraded to be suitable for a wide range of mammalian cell types.

Manual cell counters provide technical insights to novice researchers to understand what counting and measuring viability means. They are well accepted within the science community and part of researchers' daily work worldwide. The main benefit of counting manually is the low costs involved in purchase and maintenance.

Although manual cell counters work well, they have some limitations that need to be considered when assessing the results of measurements.

The main drawbacks to manual cell counting are subjectivity, speed, and errors.

  • Subjectivity: Manual cell counting requires human interpretation in identifying cells and viability appraisal. Therefore, manual counting causes high error rates between operators.
  • Speed: Counting is a time-consuming process. It needs to be done by pressing a button for every cell counted, which can lead to repetitive strain injury.  
  • Volumetric errors: Pipetting errors and setting up the coverslip can result in measurement inaccuracies.

Despite these limitations, automated cell counters emerged to overcome all the limitations that manual counters present. 

Are you working with manual cell counting? The implementation of automated cell counters in the lab will make your workflow easier and faster, resulting in more accurate and reproducible data. Results do not differ between operator measurements, so researchers can now be confident in their results.

LUNA FL and AIDS research

“In our day-to-day work flux, LUNA FL has greatly increased cell counting accuracy and overall data quality. In addition, we now can now increase the number of samples we process every day due to LUNA’s simplicity of use and reliability”. - Clinical Sample Processing Team

LUNA has vastly improved the accuracy of or cell counting, ranging from cell lines to Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs). It is also very straightforward and fast to use. We greatly value its versatility as we can count and address cell viability but also GFP transfection efficiency very quickly.” - Cellular senescence research team.

Customer review

Fast and effective measurements

"The LUNA FL is brilliant, we use it to count cells and determine viability fast and effectively. 

We use daily the automated cell counter LUNA FL in our workflow, and we emphasise how good it works to count and measure viability with HEK cells.

We are thankful for the opportunity to test the system upfront and for the support that Isogen Life Science has given to us."

See beyond your cells

Thanks to Isogen Life Science for such an amazing device as the LUNA II automated cell counter. Thanks to logos biosystems for the nice t-shirts we won for our select science evaluation.

Customer review

Quality control for Single Cell Research

“Every technique in the lab has an equipment standard that every other company needs to measure itself against if they want to compete. And when it comes to cell counters for advanced sample preparation, LUNA is that standard.

We use it routinely in my lab for quality control of single-cell sample preparations. When it comes to running these sensitive and costly experiments, like single-cell sequencing, the quality control can be the difference between a successful experiment and a failed reaction.

There is no other company that I trust in the same way.”
