Leading independent science publisher, SelectScience® has announced category winners for the annual Scientist Choice Awards® naming the LUNA-III™ automated cell counter as the winner for Best New Life Science Product 2024.

“We are truly honored by this award and what it represents and wish to express our sincere gratitude to all the scientists and researchers that voted for the LUNA-III™,” remarked Neon Jung, Ph.D., CEO of Logos Biosystems.

Released in September 2024, the LUNA-III™ brightfield automated cell counter became the newest member of the award-winning LUNA™ family of automated cell counters.

Using the design and small footprint of the much-loved LUNA-II™, the LUNA-III™ offers upgrades and enhancements such as machine-learning technology, a redesigned autofocus mechanism, and includes the beloved Reanalysis feature.

Like the other LUNA™ cell counters, the LUNA-III™ is compatible with the LUNA™ Reusable Slide and the LUNA™ Validation Slide – BF. In addition, users have the option to purchase a LUNA-III™ with a Sustainable Package which comes with the LUNA™ Reusable Slide as well as Erythrosin B stain for an eco-friendly and budget-friendly option.

Today, the LUNA™ family has over 740 peer reviews with an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars.

The LUNA™ family of automated cell counters have become known for their accuracy, precision, and producing reliable and consistent results.
