Compact flow cytometer Guava Muse

Guava Muse (Cytek) — Next-Generation Compact Flow Cytometer for Laboratory Research

Guava Muse is an innovative compact flow cytometer combining high accuracy, user-friendliness, and affordability for research and clinical laboratories. It is ideal for rapid analysis of cell morphology, viability, cell cycle, apoptosis, immunological studies, and various other applications.

 

Key Features and Capabilities:

• Compact and ergonomic design — takes minimal bench space, suitable for labs with limited room

• Intuitive software interface — user-friendly graphical interface with pre-loaded protocols for standard assays, simplifying operator work and improving reproducibility

• High accuracy and sensitivity — detects subtle changes in cell populations, crucial for viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle analysis

• Multiparametric analysis up to 6 parameters simultaneously — enables detailed cell characterization using multiple fluorochromes

• Minimal sample volume — requires as little as 20 µl, important when working with limited samples such as blood cells or cultures

• Automatic calibration and quality control — built-in systems ensure instrument stability and reliable data

• Fast analysis speed — up to 5,000 cells per minute for efficient processing of large sample volumes

• Versatility — compatible with a wide range of standard reagents and fluorochromes

 

Applications:

• Cell viability and apoptosis assessment

• Cell cycle analysis

• Immunological studies, including immunophenotyping

• Functional cellular assays (e.g., calcium flux measurement)

• Pharmacological research and drug screening

• Analysis of cell cultures, primary cells, and blood cells

 

Benefits for Laboratories:

• Simplifies workflow and reduces analysis time

• Requires no complex setup or highly specialized personnel

• Delivers reliable and reproducible results for clinical and research use
