3. Counting Cells Sample Preparation Sample Staining Brightfield cell counting For Total and viability cell counting, prepare a cell suspension according to standard procedures. Mix the sample, 1:1, with Trypan Blue Stain, 0.4% (T13001) or Erythrosin B Stain (L13002) or Methylene blue Stain, 0.02% (L13004). Mix gently, but thoroughly to ensure a homogenous suspension.
Press INSERT. The slide holder will automatically move into position. To remove the slide, press EJECT. The slide holder will automatically extend out of the instrument and the slide may be removed. Viewing Images By default, upon slide insertion, the viewing light will automatically turn on and the LUNA- FX7™...
Important ! Adjusting light intensity levels in the COUNT screen will only be applied to the live view mode. Exposure levels for brightfield cell counting are automatically adjusted. Exposure levels for fluorescence cell counting may only be adjusted within a protocol (Section 5). Focusing To bring cells into focus, press Autofocus.
Results Results After counting is complete, the data and images will appear in the RESULTS window. The counting results will be shown to the left of the screen. Press the left or right arrows under Chamber to view the results and images for each counted chamber.

Min. FL intensity Min FL intensity is used to set the minimum Green and Red fluorescence intensity values to be detected as cells. Objects with fluorescence intensity lower than Min. FL intensity value are excluded from counting. Increased Min. FL intensity value will remove objects with weak fluorescence intensity.
6. Bioprocess Feature Bioprocess Feature Bioprocess The LUNA-FX7™ bioprocess feature enables automated tracking of multiple bioprocessing activities. The bioprocess feature tracks individual batches according to protocol and will calculate and chart growth rates, doubling times, and viabilities based on count data. Creating a 1.
