Fluidlab R-300
Devices, Carrier and Software
Anvajo is a developer and manufacturer of point-of-care solutions for laboratory diagnostics, providing accurate devices, multifunctional sample carrier systems and robust software suites.
Anvajo’s innovative devices combine a miniaturized spectrometer with a digital microscope, catering for point-of-need diagnostics in various industries. Target samples include amongst others, blood, urine, sperm and water. Test pre-analytics are supported by a system of dedicated sample carriers, which process and deliver the fluid to be analysed.
Central areas of application include human and veterinary medicine, environmental analysis and research. anvajo’s robust software suites have been especially designed for scientists and researchers, allowing direct access to raw data and enabling clinical and scientific advance.
The fluidlab R-300
The fluidlab R-300 is the smallest, most comfortable laboratory instrument on the market. It combines a full-fledged spectrometer with an automatic cell counter. Its intuitive handling and precise measurements make the fluidlab R-300 the laboratory instrument of the future. With standard cuvettes as well as with glass sample carriers from anvajo a variety of analyses such as absorbance, automatic cell counting and staining-free viability measurements can be performed.
Measure viability without staining: Cytotoxic effects and measurement errors are eliminated by staining-free determination of the viability. Standardized cell count and viability measurements also lead to improved predictability and quality of your experiments.
The fluildab R-300 is the smallest spectrometer in the range from 375 to 700 nm with a spectral resolution of less than 2 nm. The fluildab R-300 is linear in the range of 0 – 2.5 absorbance units with a photometric accuracy of 0.01.
The results are available within 1 minute. A large “field-of-view” (5.3 mm²) and automated measurement of the cell count reduce human error and increase statistical certainty.
The fluidlab R-300 has a wizard for automatic calibration curves. By saving the curves, an automatic calculation and sample quantification is possible.

Acella
acella is a proprietary sample carrier format that uses a glass substrate. Its low sample chamber heights make the acella a perfect fit for microscopic applications such as cell counting or particle classification. Beyond that, this carrier is the optimal choice for spectrophotometric analyses of fluids with high optical densities such as whole blood.
Models:
- acella 50: sample chamber height 50 µm, glass substrate
- acella 20: sample chamber height 20 µm, glass substrate
- acella 100: sample chamber height 100 µm, glass substrate
Areas of application:
- Microscopic analysis of particles in fluids
- Spectrophotometric analysis of fluids with high optical densities
Examples of applications:
- General cell counting and basic classification (yeast, HeLa, algea, stem cells, leukocytes)
- General particle counting and basic classification
- Haemoglobin in whole blood
- Haematocrit in whole blood
- Fluid condition monitoring, fluid cleanliness management
User groups:
- Yeast: Scientists working in cell culture, assay development, breweries, craft beer brewer
- HeLa: Scientists working in cell culture, oncology
- Algae: biofuel production, algae food production
- Stem cells: oncology, regenerative medicine
- Leukocytes: GPs, Pediatric MDs
Cuvette
The cuvette format is one of the most popular sample carrier standards for fluid testing in laboratories worldwide. It is the sample carrier of choice for simple spectrophotometric measurements of fluids with low optical densities. Anvajo supports various cuvette formats.
