The Guava EasyCyte is a high-performance benchtop flow cytometer designed for use in a wide range of applications, including immunology, cell biology, cancer research, and other fields of biomedical research. Here are some of the key benefits of owning a Guava:

• Multidimensional Analysis: The system enables simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters, such as cell size, granularity, and different cell markers, allowing for sophisticated cell population analyses.
• Sensitivity and Precision: The Guava EasyCyte provides high sensitivity and precision, which is crucial for detecting subtle changes in cell populations. This level of detail can be critical in fields such as cancer research, where detecting small populations of abnormal cells can be crucial.
• Ease of Use: This system is designed to be user-friendly, with intuitive software and a compact, benchtop design. This can save users time and reduce the learning curve for new operators.
• Absolute Cell Counting: Unlike traditional flow cytometers, the Guava systems can perform absolute cell counts without the need for additional reference beads, simplifying the procedure and providing more accurate results.
• Cost-Effective: The Guava EasyCyte can analyze individual cells in a sample, allowing for more efficient use of samples and reagents. This can help to keep research costs down.
• Absolute Cell Counting: Unlike traditional flow cytometers, the Guava systems can perform absolute cell counts without the need for additional reference beads, simplifying the procedure and providing more accurate results.

Summary of testing & maintenance we perform (depending on included configuration):

• We inspect the EasyCyte for physical damage.
• The cytometer optics are inspected and cleaned.
• Mechanical components inspected, adjusted, and lubricated if necessary
• The proper operation of electronic components is confirmed
• Necessary repairs and services are performed to make sure the cytometer will function as intended.
• We measure the lasers' power output and ensure it is not degraded. 
• We clean the fluidics and optical paths of the cytometer.
• Preventative maintenance is performed as part of this process.
• PMTs are tuned.
• We run calibration particles and ensure that each channel provides clean signals with the required sensitivity and intensity.
• EasyCyte HT Flow cell storage procedure is performed, thus ensuring the instrument will function well once used by the customer.

You will need the following consumables starting out: 

• Guava® Instrument Cleaning Fluid (ICF) | Cytek Biosciences also available at Fisher Scientific
• Guava® easyCheck™ Kit | Cytek Biosciences also available at Fisher Scientific
• Guava & Muse Reagents | Cytek Biosciences – to match your application

We offer both onsite and remote demos via Zoom.

• We invite you to come in for an onsite Demo or schedule a Zoom demo of the cytometer.

Our CYTEK Guava EasyCyte Cytometer comes with a 90-Day Warranty.

Warranty Terms:

• The warranty term is 90 Days from the date of the cytometer's arrival at the destination.
• This includes parts and labor.

Exceptions: 

• The warranty does not cover clogs.
• Shipping damage that is not reported at the time of delivery.
• Damage to the system due to the use of incorrect fluids or samples.
• Electrical damage from plugging into an incorrect voltage. 
• Improper storage procedures that will allow the FlowCell to dry out improperly.
• Issues caused by lack of proper standard maintenance.
• Water damage.
• Physical damage.

Optional Training Package:

We can offer EasyCyte Cytometer training (Remote setup, general software usage, and maintenance procedures guidance). This service is highly recommended to avoid a lot of the above issues. 

Basic steps to confirm quality:

• Confirm that internal optics are clean; this is often a complex undertaking if not already done.
• Confirm there is no present physical damage to the cytometer.
• Confirm that each channel provides clean signals with the required sensitivity and intensity.
• Make sure there are no loose/damaged pumps that may cause leaks.
• Make sure the fluidics system is not clogged and all valves operate reliably. (a major concern if the shutdown procedure was not followed)  
• Ensure the sample tray does not skip steps, is not bent, and moves freely on all axis.
• Ensure the lasers are up to specification and PMT voltages are properly adjusted. (These are not user adjustable)
• Confirm that the cytometer is appropriate to your application; 
• Confirm that the cytometer is tested with calibration particles and gives good data.
• Make sure there are no missing components; it won`t be fast or inexpensive to correct.

If you have concerns, we highly recommend inspecting the cytometer in person or doing a live Zoom call; this will allow you to evaluate the cytometer and confirm that everything works.

• We stock multiple CYTEK Guava EasyCyte Cytometers along with many replacement parts.

• If you are a US or Canadian customer, we are likely already a registered vendor in your University's vendor system. This would greatly expedite the process of PO approvals and get the cytometer into your lab faster.
• POs are accepted from US and Canadian universities.

• We can ship within a few days to 2 weeks. Ship times depend on the current demand for our instruments. Members of our sales team will be able to offer current estimates.

• All CYTEK Guava EasyCyte cytometers are shipped fully insured within the US and internationally as long as we are a shipper and handle shipping arrangements.
• If the buyer handles shipping, then shipping insurance responsibility falls to the buyer; we highly advise that the buyer obtain shipping insurance from their carrier.

Packing

• Most cytometers ship in fully enclosed ISPM-15 certified wooden crates, with proper padding underneath and the sides, and have moving components braced.
• Accessories are packed safely in boxes with padding and then safely packed inside the crate.
• We may not use a crate for local deliveries or smaller cytometers to save you money *if delivered by us.
• We often use “tilt’ & “shock” indicators on the crates to ensure the crate has not been excessively tilted and dropped where equipment may suffer damage.
• Photos are taken during the packing process to make sure nothing is missed.

USA/Canada Shipping

• Within US and Canada, we will ship via selected freight carriers. We do not use low-price/high-damage carriers as we want the equipment to get safely to you.

International Shipping

• Internationally we will only ship via Air Freight or Air Parcel (such as UPS, DHL), which provides reliability, no exposure to Ocean weather, and timely delivery.
  We have extensive experience shipping cytometers around the world.

Our experience and process

• We have safely packed and shipped hundreds of sensitive analytical instruments, including cytometers.
• Before final packing/shipping, the cytometer is re-checked using calibration particles to verify performance.

A lot…and it is certainly worth it, and here is why.  Feel free to ask for feedback from hundreds of customers that bought from us.

• You will save around 55-70% vs. buying a new cytometer.  Why not spend leftover funds on another instrument for your lab?
• You will get a 90 days warranty, plus, when available, an option to obtain an extended warranty agreement. 
• Get peace of mind knowing that your instrument was tested and working the day it left our facility and is covered if there are faults.

The CYTEK Guava EasyCyte could be priced up to $55,000. So why not save your funds by buying a Good, Tested, Used CYTEK Guava EasyCyte, get the high-quality data quality you expect from EasyCyte, and use your leftover funds elsewhere?

• Well, this one is easy; buying a pre-owned Guava EasyCyte is great for the planet; you are reducing unnecessary waste, CO2 output, and water use that would be used during the manufacturing process.
