Cytek® – Cytek® Guava® easyCytek™ Systems
The easyCytek™ systems can resolve the fluorescence from up to 12 fluorophores simultaneously.
Use patented microcapillary laser-based technology to detect mammalian and microbial cells, particles, and beads.
Key Features
- Precise and Accurate Absolute Counting: Combine microcapillary flow with a precision pump to provide accurate and precise absolute counts, without the use of reference beads. Absolute counts can be done using cellular or bead samples.
- Sensitive and Specific: Spherotech® 8-color beads analyzed on the Guava easyCyte systems demonstrate the instrument’s proficiency for resolving adjacent fluorophores in multiple detection channels.
- Heat Mapping: Feature allows the user to analyze data at the experiment level. Comparing population percentages, intensity values, or cell concentrations can give the user a quick, high-level view.
- Robot-scheduling software: Control and integrate Guava easyCyte systems with all physically compatible robotic arms and liquid-handling systems, resulting in streamlined workflows and enhanced productivity.
