Guava easyCyte 8 High Throughput System (HTS)

Guava easyCyte 8 High Throughput System (HTS): The easyCyte 8HT instrument pair the power of a 150 mW blue laser (488) with the expanded multi-channel capacity of a red laser (642) to provide six channels plus FSc and SSc, for a total of eight parameters. The guava easyCyte™ HT instruments provide high throughput analysis with a robotic sample tray that automatically handles a 96-well micro-plate and up to 10 sample tubes. It has a patented, micro-capillary flow cell that eliminates the need for sheath fluid and provides absolute cell counts. This translates into less complexity, smaller samples and minimal waste, saving you both time and money. Plus, the flow cell is self-aligning and user-replaceable to reduce downtime and service visits.

Guava easyCyte 8 High Throughput System

  • No laser alignment or sheath fluid required.
  • Uses smaller sample volume and generates less waste.
  • Flow cell is user replaceable for minimal downtime.
  • Aspirates sample directly from the tube.
  • Absolute Cell Counting and Viability.

Lyse Wash

Lyse Wash BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA): The BD FACS™ Lyse Wash Assistant (LWA), with its patented cell wash technology, automates sample preparation for flow cytometry applications. It lyses, mixes, washes, and fixes samples with minimal labor. Automating incubation and washing, the LWA batch processes up to 40 patient samples per run to reduce hands-on time and operator-induced variability in laboratory data. Samples can be transferred to a BD FACSCanto or BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer for analysis using the LWA carousel.
