Millipore introduces benchtop flow cytometry solutions

Millipore Corporation recently introduced a range of assays, kits, flow cytometry systems, and service plans as part of an integrated benchtop flow cytometry portfolio. Flow cytometry is a powerful method used to measure cell numbers, cell viability, programmed cell death (apoptosis), cell division, toxicity, and the differential expression of specific proteins that can help scientists understand the biology of embryonic development, cancer, metabolic and degenerative diseases, drug effects, and even aging. The benchtop format increases the convenience, flexibility, and accessibility of this technology. Earlier this year, Millipore and Guava Technologies entered into a long-term partnership to deliver optimised benchtop flow cytometry products and services to cell biologists, including stem cell researchers, at academic and government institutions as well as biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

All Guava assays, kits, and systems for flow cytometry that are included in the partnership are now available from Millipore to academic and government laboratories worldwide, and to pharma and biotech labs outside of Europe and North America.

Guava retains exclusive rights to all of its products for biotechnology and pharma laboratories within Europe and North America. Additionally, Millipore is the sole service provider for Guava flow cytometry instruments for all organisations worldwide.
