Simple detection in a single-sample format
Flow cytometry is an essential tool for in-depth cell analysis. With the capacity to simultaneously measure multiple parameters on hundreds of individual cells per second, flow cytometry offers greater speed, precision, and detail than most other cell analysis methods available to scientists today.
Guava Flow Cytometry Systems:
At the heart of every Guava System is a unique, microcapillary flow cell that eliminates the need for sheath fluid. This translates into smaller samples, less reagents, and minimal waste, saving you both time and money. Plus, since the flow cell is self-aligning and user-replaceable, you can remove it yourself at any time for cleaning and maintenance—no more expense or downtime for service visits. And, by eliminating complicated fluidics, we’ve created a tiny instrument footprint that fits into the tightest spots, saving valuable laboratory space. Walk-away automation options and user-friendly software simplify your research.
Key Features of the PCA System:
Size – smallest Guava System
∙ Tiny footprint (just over a square foot)
∙ Low profile easily fits under cabinets
Samples – single sample analysis is ideal for low-throughput labs:
∙ Microcentrifuge tube requires minimal sample
∙ Manual sample loading
Detection – simple options for common assays:
∙ Green (532 nm) excitation laser for many fluorophores
∙ Two color (red and yellow) fluorescence detectors
∙ Forward scatter
Analysis – do more with less:
∙ Integrated laptop runs most Guava Assays
Maintenance – spend less time cleaning and more time working:
∙ System generates <50 µL of overall waste in a typical 8-hour day
∙ Flow cell is user-replaceable
