Merck Millipore guava easyCyte benchtop flow cytometers

Merck Millipore microcapillary flow cytometry systems are said to be simpler to operate than traditional sheath fluid-based instruments and easier to maintain. They utilise small-sample volumes, generate minimal waste and have low operating costs. As a result, guava easyCyte flow cytometers are amenable to on-demand use in the laboratory environment and help scientists achieve insightful cellular analysis.

The flow cytometry systems are easy to use and deliver complete and comprehensive cell analysis right on the benchtop. The culmination of over a decade of flow cytometry expertise, the instruments are claimed to consume less sample, generate less waste and be easier to use and maintain than traditional flow cytometers, all while providing good analytical power. Single blue (488 nm), dual blue and red (642 nm), or triple blue, red and violet (405 nm) excitation lasers provide up to 12 simultaneous detection parameters, including 10 fluorescent colours, plus forward and side scatter for size and granularity determination.

The range also meets the user’s sample throughput needs by offering both single- and multi-sample processing. The guava easyCyte HT instruments provide high-throughput analysis with a robotic sample tray that automatically handles a 96-well microplate and up to 10 sample tubes. The guava easyCyte system meanwhile enables single-sample processing.
