Biocompare
Biocompare has released its annual ‘Essential Guide to Best Practices in the Lab, Volume 16,’ providing life science researchers and scientists a valuable tool for staying current on the latest protocols, techniques, and instrumentation designed to improve lab workflow and downstream processes.
The eBook, produced by Biocompare, is a collaboration among leading manufacturers in the life sciences industry that provides tips, techniques, and best practices based on real-world experimentation across the following core areas: organoid culture and quantitative western blotting, cell counting in cell and gene therapy research, cell migration and invasion assays, and incubator contamination control.
The section from Logos Biosystems, ‘How to Improve Cell Counting Accuracy for Cell & Gene Therapy Research,’ highlights the SpectraSlide® AP-1 all-in-one sample prep slide 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.
Included 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, the CELENA® X High Content Imaging System, the CELENA® S Digital Imaging System, and the X-CLARITY™ Tissue Clearing System and Reagents.
