Accessible benchtop flow cytometer

The EasyCyte Mini from Guava Technologies Inc. has been designed to make flow cytometry accessible to anyone in the laboratory.

Novice and experts alike will appreciate how the compact, easy-to-use Guava EasyCyte Mini delivers top quality flow cytometric results directly to the scientists' benchtop. Equipped with a blue laser and 3-colour detection the Guava EasyCyte Mini has all of the functionality of the powerful Guava EasyCyte 96-well platform but in a single sample format, making the system extremely affordable and accessible to those researchers with lower throughput needs.

The Guava EasyCyte Mini runs each of Guava's turnkey assays, enabling easy, fast measurements of GFP expression and viability, cell counting/viability, apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, antigen detection and more. Assays require only micro-volumes of cells and reagents, and the system generates minimal waste. In addition, like all of the Guava systems, the unique ability to obtain direct absolute cell counts, in addition to population percentages, allows researchers to monitor increases or decreases in overall cell number which may have an impact on their assay. This functionality cannot be obtained with traditional sheath flow cytometers.

Guava Technologies, Inc., is the leading provider of on-demand, easy-to-use single cell analysis systems. Guava Personal Cell Analysis (PCA™) systems, including the Guava PCA, Guava PCA-96, Guava EasyCyte™, Guava EasyCyte Plus and EasyCyte Mini systems, are integrated, fully optimised, microcapillary cytometry systems with embedded absolute cell counting capability. Used worldwide by the life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as clinical testing institutions (outside the United States and Europe), Guava's products have broad applications in scientific research and throughout the drug discovery and lead optimisation process, as well as for cell counting and optimisation of commercial biopharmaceutical production. Guava offers a variety of assays and dedicated software modules for the Guava PCA systems, enhancing the system's overall ease-of-use.
