Yeast strains used in food and drink production can be notoriously clumpy.The LUNA-II YF™ has an autofocusing cell counting and declustering algorithm that counts individual yeast cells in just 15 seconds.
Features
As is well-known in 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.
Accurate Yeast Cell Counts
The LUNA-II YF™ provides cell count and viability data with the precision and consistency of a flow cytometer.
Yeast-Optimized Analysis
Unlike flow cytometers, the LUNA-II YF™ has advanced declusteringcapabilities, and can count even the clumpiest cells.
Verified With Multiple Strains
We’ve independently tested 30+ brewing yeast products on the LUNA-II YF™.Visit the cell DB for a partial list.
