Streamlining cell monitoring and
screening
Only a few microlitres of samples, such as cultured and blood cells, are required for each experiment, saving precious cells and reagents and reducing potentially hazardous biological waste
Available from Guava Technologies, the PCA-96 is an affordable, ultra-compact system ideally suited for automatic, 96-well microplate and multiple microcentrifuge tube analysis of cell lines and compounds Intuitive in operation, the Guava PCA-96 provides precise, accurate and easy-to-read results with often less than one day of training

The PCA-96 system simplifies cell monitoring and screening.
Only a few microlitres of samples, such as cultured and blood cells, are required for each experiment, saving precious cells and reagents and reducing potentially hazardous biological waste.
With the Guava PCA-96 experiments can be started sooner and finished faster, streamlining the entire research and development process.
The PCA-96 offers turnkey operation in an integrated system consisting of the compact PCA-96 instrument, software to automatically analyse and archive data, and optimised reagents.
Current screening assays available for the PCA-96 include cell counting and viability assay, antigen detection assay, a suite of apoptosis assays (Annexin-V binding, pan caspases, Tunel), and cell cycle assay.
To accommodate evolving assay needs, the Guava PCA-96 system is expandable so that users can add new applications in the future.
