Description
As is well-known in the brewing and winemaking industries, the quantity of yeast pitched to initiate fermentation directly affects the flavor, aroma, and quality of the final product. Although yeast can be pitched by weight or volume, such methods are inexact and highly variable. The ASBC method using methylene blue method is more accurate but time consuming and subjective. Use the LUNA-II YF™ to get accurate and reproducible yeast cell counts in as little as 15 seconds. This little counter sits comfortably in a cell culture hood or on your benchtop to fit seamlessly into your workflow.
KEY FEATURES
ACCURATE YEAST CELL COUNTS
The LUNA-II YF™ provides cell count and viability data with the precision and consistency of a flow cytometer.
15 SECONDS TO RESULTS
Using dual fluorescence optics, an autofocusing liquid lens, and advance software, the LUNA-II YF™ produces data in just 15 seconds.
YEAST-OPTIMIZED ANALYSIS
Unlike flow cytometers, the LUNA-II YF™ has advanced declustering capabilities, and can count even the clumpiest cells.
VERIFIED WITH MULTIPLE STRAINS
We’ve independently tested 30+ brewing yeast products on the LUNA-II YF™.
USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE
Customize and save protocols, verify results immediately onboard, use the dilution calculator, and gate cells on histograms with a few taps on the LUNA-II YF™ touchscreen.
SIMPLE RECORDKEEPING
Print data with am external printer or export high-resolution images, data, and full data reports via USB.
THE LOWEST COST, THE GREATEST CONVENIENCE
Perfect for labs on a budget, the LUNA-II YF™ works with the LUNA™ Reusable Slide. The LUNA™ Reusable Slide delivers the affordability of manual cell counting without the associated time, subjectivity, and user-to-user variability. Our disposable PhotonSlides™ are made with optical quality materials with ultra-low autofluorescence to allow for optimal fluorescence detection. PhotonSlides™ maintain the highest standard of cell counting accuracy and offer the ultimate counting experience with no mess or cleanup.
