Cytek® Guava® easyCyte™ Flow Cytometer

The easyCyte systems use patented microcapillary laserbased technology to detect mammalian and microbial cells, particles, and beads. First, a sample of fluorescently labeled cells is aspirated into the microcapillary flow cell. Then, forward and side scatter characteristics are detected by photodiodes. Lasers and PMTs are then modulated to minimize crosstalk and ensure fluorescent detection is accurate. Finally, fluorescence emission resulting from the excitation of fluorophores by the lasers is spectrally filtered and detected by several PMTs. The easyCyte Systems can resolve the fluorescence from up to 12 fluorophores simultaneously.
