It also offers a built-in 96-well autosampler, which allows researchers to obtain even more data while performing 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 five different biological mechanisms simultaneously improves the efficiency of experimental outputs. Not only does this shorten the number of iterations for any one experiment, it also comes that much closer to mimicking the complex biological responses within the body. The Guava easyCyte 5HT System runs all Guava Assays and uses Guava InCyte software for data acquisition and analysis.
