Flexible. Intuitive. Affordable.
Our microcapillary flow cytometry systems are simpler to operate than traditional sheath-fluid based instruments and are far easier to maintain. They utilize small sample volumes, generate minimal waste, and have lower operating costs. As a result, Guava® easyCyte flow cytometers are uniquely amenable to on-demand use in the laboratory environment and have helped many scientists achieve insightful cellular analysis since 1998.
 
Explore Guava® easyCyte Benchtop Flow Cytometers
The culmination of fifteen years of flow cytometry expertise, Guava® easyCyte instruments consume less sample, generate less waste and are easier to use and maintain than traditional flow cytometers — and you choose the optical and sample-handling configurations that suit the needs of your lab. All instruments offer economical single-sample loaders, or a high-throughput multisample tray that acquires from a standard 96-well plate plus up to ten sample tubes.

Single, dual, or triple excitation laser configurations provide up to 14 simultaneous detection parameters, including 12 fluorescent colors plus forward and side scatter for size and granularity determination. For applications requiring exceptional sensitivity, a high-power blue laser (HPL) is offered in both single- and HT-loader formats.

Guava® easyCyte Instrument Features

Guava® easyCyte flow cytometers use novel microcapillary technology that enables a compact, user-friendly format powerful enough to run your most complex assays. These simple fluidics enable a self-aligning flow cell that can be removed for cleaning by the user. New, more robust lasers available in virtually any combination mean that you choose the excitation and emission channels that are a match for your lab’s experiments and budget. All of our versatile optical configurations are available with an affordable single-sample loader, or an integrated multiwell sample tray option, for trouble-free walkaway acquisition of up to 96 samples.

Sample Handling Formats for Both Tubes and 96-Well Plates

Automated Sampling for 96-well Plates
The Guava® easyCyte HT series enables walkaway sample handling for higher throughput assays using a built-in, automated 96-well plate loader tray, which can hold a 96-well plate as well as 10 sample tubes. To ensure that cells stay in suspension during sampling, a rotating, variable- speed mixing paddle with auto-cleaning is used between each well so there is no need for manual resuspension after loading the plate. This virtually eliminates carryover between samples and mixes more efficiently than shaking plate holder formats.

Single Sample Loading for Tubes
For manual sample handling in a cost-effective format, we offer the Guava® easyCyte with its rotating sample tube loader. The manual loader holds two separate tubes, allowing the user to progress quickly from one sample to another, or to wash between samples following an acquisition.
