Millipore Cytek Guava EasyCyte 12HT High-Throughput Flow Cytometer with 3 Lasers and 13 Detection Channels

The Millipore Cytek Guava EasyCyte 12HT Flow Cytometer is a compact, high-throughput flow cytometry system optimized for advanced cell analysis in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and biomedical engineering. Its configuration includes:

• Optics & Lasers: Three excitation lasers at 405 nm (violet), 488 nm (blue), and 642 nm (red), providing 13 detection channels capable of multi-color fluorescence analysis essential for complex immunophenotyping, apoptosis assays, and cell cycle studies.
• Detection: Forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) channels enable precise particle sizing (0.2–60 µm) and granularity resolution. Laser channel allocation includes Violet (5 channels), Blue (4 channels), and Red (2 channels) with high dynamic range (5 decades) for in-depth fluorescence quantification.
• Sample Handling: Automated sample collection compatible with microplates (96-well) and tubes (0.5 mL and 1.5 mL), supporting sample mixing with minimum volumes of 100 µL (plate), 150 µL (0.5 mL tubes), and 900 µL (1.5 mL tubes). A positive displacement pump fluidics system operates without sheath fluid.
• Performance: Rapid acquisition speeds (10–1000 events/second) and flow rates (7–70 µL/min) with fluorescence precision under 4% CV for control beads ensure reproducible, quantitative data for gene editing and bioprocessing workflows. Absolute cell count capability is achieved without reference beads, critical in biomanufacturing quality control.
• Software & Data Analysis: Includes the guavaSoft operating platform and a 1-year subscription to De Novo FCS Express 7 Analysis software (Research Use Only), delivering an intuitive interface and advanced tools for flow cytometry data visualization, analysis, and reporting—vital for synthetic biology and molecular cloning research.
• Dimensions & Weight: Compact footprint at 25 x 51 x 61 cm (10 x 20 x 24 in) and 31.8 kg (70 lb) facilitates integration into busy labs demanding space-efficient solutions.
• Maintenance & Warranty: Proven reliability established through comprehensive preventative maintenance including fluidics decontamination, laser alignment, detector calibration, and QC bead verification. Backed by Continental US 120-day and International 60-day warranty with technical support and optional training sessions.

This system is widely adopted in clinical diagnostics, immunophenotyping, and fluorescence-based live-cell analysis and is integral to workflows requiring high-throughput, multi-parametric cell characterization. Its automated plate and tube handling streamline biotechnological applications like intracellular cytokine staining, drug screening, and apoptosis monitoring, making it essential for researchers focusing on molecular diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
