Guava Technologies offers a solution for researchers looking to evaluate the performance profile of cell cultures, primary cells and blood cells with easy-to-use instruments, reagent kits and software
Cell cultures are dynamic populations that should be monitored frequently to identify changes in their condition.
Knowing the performance profile of your cell culture or primary cells prior to running a bioassay can mean the difference between valid assay results or wasted reagents, lost time and discarded data.
Guava's CellHeath profiling applications are described in a product bulletin that is downloadable as a PDF document.
Profiling key cellular indicators, such as apoptotic fraction and stage of apoptosis, viability, cell cycle, cell counts, transfection efficiency, or target expression levels, Guava's CellHeath profiling appications allow labs to establish uniform standards of cellular performance.
Whether you are determining screen/no screen criteria for HTS, monitoring and optimising bioreactor conditions, preparing cell cultures for therapy, or reducing variability in Elispot assays, Guava CellHeath profiling applications can increase your confidence in bioassay outcomes says the company.
The Guava systems used in CellHeath profiling are characterised by their compact size, comprehensive menu of easy-to-use assays and the quantifiable, specific and sensitive results they produce.
Guava systems are proven to simplify workflow, reduce labour costs, conserve precious samples and reagents, and improve outcomes of expensive cell-based assays.
Assays require only micro-volumes of cells and reagents, and generate minimal waste.
Additionally systems are hands-on, affordable, and easy-to-use with less than a day's training.
With footprints as small as one square foot, they occupy a fraction of the bench space of traditional cytometers.
Guava Technologies, a privately held biotechnology company, is the leading provider of on-demand, easy-to-use single cell analysis systems.
Guava Personal Cell Analysis (PCA) systems, including the Guava PCA, Guava PCA-96 and Guava EasyCyte systems, are integrated, fully optimised, microcapillary cytometry systems with embedded absolute cell counting capability.
Used worldwide by the life sciences, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries, as well as clinical testing institutions (outside the United States and Europe), Guava's products have broad applications in scientific research and throughout the drug discovery and lead optimisation process, as well as for cell counting and optimisation of commercial biopharmaceutical production.
Guava offers a variety of assays and dedicated software modules for the Guava PCA systems, enhancing the system's overall ease-of-use.
