The Millipore Guava easyCyte cytometer is designed to make flow cytometry truly accessible. This instrument combines high quality optical elements and advanced fluorescent detection to maximize assay sensitivity. These systems offer expanded detection capabilities, with:

• up to six colors
• forward scatter and side scatter (optional)
• blue (488 nm) excitation laser allows a broader range of fluorophores—and the new easyCyte dual laser systems feature an additional red (640 nm) laser for even more flexibility.
• GuavaSoft analysis and acquisition software has format for simple to complex analyses, giving accurate, reproducible data and ensuring ease of operation.
• plug-and-play formats for specific applications and rapidly analyze large data sets in real time
• easyCyte systems are benchtop flow cytometry systems powerful enough to run your most complicated cell analyses

• run the Millipore easyCyte unattended 24/7
• unique 'dual action' gripper automatically loads/unloads both plates and reagent tubes
• ensure the quality of your results by exchanging wash, quick-wash and back-flush tubes during the run
• increase your flexibility - run a different easyCyte worklist for each plate, by querying a database or LIMS, with the plate barcode
• run multiple easyCyte instruments with the same robot
• 'open access' permits multiple users to run their plates simultaneously
• add additional devices such as incubators, plate sealers/de-sealers or any other instrument from our 407 instrument library

• increase throughput, reduce user interaction
• 24/7 operation of long studies
• improve the efficiency of your organization
• choose when you implement the automation stage of your project
• expert support

The Millipore Guava easyCyte cytometer is a multiwell-plate based real-time platform which is used for many cellular applications. The Guava offers enhanced throughput, compatibility with automation equipment and maximum flexibility from the hardware and software.

paa automate.it harmony specification

A customer required the integration of the Millipore Guava easyCyte cytometer and approached paa to discuss the project. The collaboration involved paa supplying the automate.it scara robot and Overlord3 control software and collaborating with Millipore to write the easyCyte instrument driver. After full customer training, the customer is able to develop cell assays to fully utilize the Millipore Guava easyCyte instrument features.
