Personal cell analysis system enables advanced cell based assays to be started sooner and finished faster, streamlining the entire research and development process
Using samples only a few microlitres in volume, the innovative PCA (personal cell analysis) system from Guava Technologies enables advanced cell based assays to be started sooner and finished faster, streamlining the entire research and development process.
As so little sample is required for each assay, the Guava PCA system saves precious cells while still giving highly precise and accurate results.
The Guava PCA system improves cell counting and viability measurements, as well as screening assays used by researchers everywhere for characterising cells.
Its ultra-compact size and ease of use makes the Guava PCA system indispensable to all scientists who need immediate access to fast and simple cell culture monitoring and screening assays.
From the quick installation and minimal training time required for operation, to the rapid assay results, the Guava PCA system is designed to save the operator time, every step of the way. Designed to accelerate cell-based discovery, the Guava PCA offers turnkey operation in an integrated system consisting of the compact PCA instrument, software to automatically analyse and archive data, and optimised reagents.
To accommodate evolving assay needs, the Guava PCA system is expandable.
Current cell monitoring and screening assays include the ViaCount assay for cell counting, apoptosis, and viability assessent, all in one test; the Express assay for a variety of applications, including protein expression, hybridoma screening, CD marker identification, bead based supernatant protein/antigen quantification, compound profiling, intracellular protein expression and GPCR expression, and three apoptosis assays for the detection of early, mid- and late apoptotic events.
Guava Technologies is a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures and markets unique integrated cellular analysis systems for the life science researcher's benchtop.
The company is revolutionising the way that cell culture monitoring and cell screening assays are performed, by providing compact micro-volume scale systems that make common assays in cell-based analysis accessible at the benchtop.
Guava's products have broad applications to life sciences research, drug discovery and biopharmaceutical production today, but also offer potential for use in clinical testing and blood processing, as well as other areas where single cell analysis is important.
