Guava's recently launched ExpressPro software has been designed to simplify the traditional complexity of multi-colour detection.
Designed for both data acquisition and analysis, the software interface allows the user to visualise up to 8 plots simultaneously, while still accessing operation or data analysis functions, all from the same screen.
With a right click of the mouse, features including the plot type, marker selection, statistics, gates, and other functions, are selected and customised to the experimental design. Colour coded dots allow you to simply follow your gating strategies across multiple plots and histograms. Special batch file printing of 96-well data and downloading of screen shots to a clipboard provides incorporation into presentation or report writing formats.
Novice and experts alike will appreciate the Guava EasyCyte Plus. The compact system combines ease of use, affordability and 96-well high throughput screening with the expanded capabilities of a fourth colour option. The built-in 96-well sample tray feature also accommodates an additional 10 sample tubes, providing added flexibility for varying throughput needs.
Simultaneous four-colour fluorescence detection expands the results obtainable from any one well, simplifying simultaneous monitoring of more complex biological studies such as white blood cell phenotyping, cell signaling, cytokine production, activation marker analysis, and multiplex compound screening. Monitoring the interplay of up to four different biological mechanisms simultaneously improves the efficiency of experimental outputs, Guava says.
The Guava EasyCyte Plus provides both absolute cell counts and population percentages, allowing you to monitor for changes in overall cell number, which could affect the assay. It runs all of Guava's turnkey assays, including antigen detection, cell counts / viability, cell cycle, cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and more.
