Cellular assays for immunologists
Guava Technologies, a developer of cost-effective and accessible cell-analysis systems, brings the power of flow cytometry directly to immunology researchers with compact easy-to-use cytometry systems
Incorporating patented microcapillary technology, Guava Personal Cell Analysis systems are a fraction of the size of traditional sheath flow systems but provide comparable results for almost all cytometry experiments Guava Technologies' systems, including the Guava PCA, PCA-96, EasyCyte and EasyCyte Mini, are affordable, highly compact, microlitre-scaled cell analysis systems that offer integrated, turnkey operations

Stem cell viability testing is robust and reliable
Using the Guava PCA system, Cells4Life is able to ensure that only samples containing a high percentage of viable (living) cells are cryopreserved for storage
Reducing the cost of cell analysis
Study concludes that laboratories routinely using this system for cell counting and viability assessment enjoy both a return on investment and increased productivity
Only a few microlitres of samples are required for each experiment, saving precious cells and reagents and producing up to 100x less biohazardous waste than traditional flow systems.
All Guava systems sample precisely measured volumes of fluid, meaning that all of Guava's turnkey assays provide accurate cell counts without the use of reference beads.
These highly sensitive systems offer precise, accurate and easy-to-read results with often less than one day of training.
Whether you are looking to count T cells, measure proliferation or quantify cell death, Guava's absolute counting will drastically simplify the process.
All of Guava's turnkey assays come with optimised reagents and specialised user-friendly software.
From a mix-and-read annexin V apoptosis assay to a non-radioactive cytotoxicity assessment, Guava systems and assays have been used for applications including eliminating variability in Elispot assays, Hybridoma screening, ADCC screening, Apoptosis studies, Immunophenotyping, CD4 T cell counting, Leukocyte reduction, Cell cycle analysis and NK Effector analysis.
