Key Features & Benefits of a Guava System
Due to our patented technology, Guava Systems offer users several key benefits over traditional flow cytometers.
Friendly. Every Guava System is designed to be so
friendly that virtually any scientist or clinician can learn to use one
in less than a day. The key to that friendliness lies in a patented
flow cell that does not require sheath fluid and, as a result, delivers
several key benefits over traditional flow cytometers. To learn more,
visit our Technology section.
Fast. Every Guava Assay is designed to be simple and
fast, with straightforward protocols involving a minimal number of
steps. Our reagent kits and, in most cases, our acquisition and
analysis software modules are optimized for a particular assay. To
learn more, visit our Assays section.
Flexible. All Guava Systems are expandable, so you can add applications, options, or both at just about any time. Contact us for details.
