MilliporeSigma Guava easyCyte flow cytometer green laser variant

MilliporeSigma has expanded its line of Guava easyCyte flow cytometers to include a high-power modulated green laser. The system combines the green laser, higher power violet, blue and red lasers for detecting subcellular particles as small as viruses, low waste volume and a small footprint.

The addition of the 532 nm laser expands the detection capabilities of the instrument to enable simultaneous detection of multiple fluorescent proteins. It allows users to analyse heterogeneous biological tissues and systems in a single experiment and offers more spectral choice using fluorescent reagents.

The enhanced optical capability and flexibility has been achieved with no increase in instrument size. Better optical configurations allow for more meaningful analysis and permit a small benchtop footprint. This gives users reduced buffer and sample volumes and reduces waste when compared with sheath-based flow cytometers, according to the company.
