The Software That Changes Everything.

The End To The Accuracy Debate

The effect of cell counting volume on accuracy is often overlooked. Manual counting and most automated cell counters detect cells in a counting volume of ~ 0.5 µl. The LUNA-FX7™ utilizes a counting volume of up to 5.1 µl, lowering error and CV for each count. Improved de-clustering algorithms and precise autofocus further add to the LUNA-FX7™’s accuracy and reliability.

Easy, Flexible And Robust

Not only the simple and efficient operation via intuitive touchscreen controls, brightfield and dual fluorescent detection options, multiple counting modes, and customizable protocols allow you to easily optimize for your cell and sample type. Counting results may be exported as a CSV summary or a comprehensive PDF report with raw and tagged images. With an internal 250GB hard drive, no additional computer is needed and data may be exported via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB flash drive.

The Smarter Way to Count Cells

The SpectraSlide® is a disposable cell counting device designed for use with the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counters, integrating cell sampling and staining into one convenient tool. Simply insert the slide into your sample, press the Cell Sampling button, then count your sample. No mixing, no mess, and no pipetting.

Throughput, Control And Efficiency

The LUNA-FX7™ provides the ability to use multiple slide formats including 8-, 3-, 2-, and single chamber slides. The intuitive user-interface allows you to easily switch between slide formats and designate the exact chambers that are counted - allowing unused chambers to be used in the future. With ‘One and Done’ slide insertion, a slide only needs to be inserted once into the counter without having to remove and reinsert the slide to count different chambers.

Jared Sills

Great results that are accurate all the time.
The LUNA-FX7 has made my life so much easier! Compared to hemocytometer counting, it is way more efficient and time saving. Our entire team has loved the ease of use as well. The option to use Bright field or Fluorescence is very handy in our field.
