Guava Technologies reportsthat its European sales doubled in 2006 compared to the previous 12 months
Paul Wheeler, Guava Technologies's director of European and African operation stated: "Guava has developed the most sophisticated and robust bench top systems and assays for the life science, drug discovery, development and clinical diagnostics communities.
"During 2006 the introduction of the affordable entry level Guava EasyCyte Mini and the Guava EasyCyte Plus - a powerful cellular analysis system that offers simultaneous four-colour detection were extremely well received by customers.
"In addition the launch of new reagent lines including Express Cell Surface antibodies and the RapidQuant IgG kits reflect Guava's ongoing commitment to revolutionising the way that a variety of cell-based assays are performed".
In line with growth in demand, Guava Technologies has announced in Q1 2007 that it plans to increase its customer facing staff by 40% and relocate its European headquarters to new, larger purpose built offices in Stamford, UK.
Through continued investment in its European technical and service department - Guava Technologies has established for its customers a network of highly trained support staff able to ensure instruments run efficiently and accurately, technical queries are answered quickly and workflow interruptions are kept to a minimum.
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.
