Bench Tip Article Highlights SpectraSlide® AP-1 Applications for Cell & Gene Therapy Research

Biocompare has released its latest Bench Tip article highlighting the SpectraSlide® AP-1 all-in-one sample prep slide. The article, ‘ How to Improve Cell Counting Accuracy for Cell and Gene Therapy Research,’ provides insight into the accuracy of the SpectraSlide® AP-1 and its fundamental role in the cell counting process for downstream applications used in cell and gene therapy research.

The SpectraSlide® AP-1, designed for the LUNA-FX7™ automated cell counter, simplifies the sample prep process by eliminating wasted samples, reducing costs, and increasing lab productivity. With a one-touch approach, it is the ultimate solution for contamination-free sample handling.

The cornerstone of successful cell and gene therapy research is based on obtaining accurate and reproducible results, beginning with initial cell counts and nuclei assessments. To that end, the SpectraSlide® AP-1 can analyze twice the volume of a standard hemocytometer with less than 20 µL per sample. It is integrated with a haptic feedback sampling system, an advanced dye-coating formulation, and innovative surface-treatment technology to ensure accurate, reproducible results.

Included in the article are links to Application Notes on the SpectraSlide® AP-1 that outline real-world experiments using glioblastoma cells, CHO-K1, and HEK293 cell lines for cell counting and cell viability analysis, as well as an application note on streamlined, aggregated cell analysis.

Logos Biosystems offers a comprehensive portfolio of imaging solutions across a variety of research sectors. This includes its popular LUNA™ Family of Automated Cell Counters, CELENA® X High Content Imaging System, the CELENA® S Digital Imaging System, and the X-CLARITY™ Tissue Clearing System and Reagents.
