The Guava® Personal Cell Analysis (PCA) System
is one of the most compact cytometers on the market, with a footprint
slightly greater than 1 square foot (31 cm2), allowing it to
fit into almost any lab space. Despite its small size, the PCA System is
a lab workhorse that displays great robustness and provides
precise, reproducible single cell cytometry data day in and day
out.
The PCA System features a green laser and the patented Guava® Flow Cell to analyze cells without the troublesome use of sheath
fluid. This combination provides easy two-color detection (1 scatter)
for the most typical cytometry needs. The manually loaded, single
sample PCA System has been validated in many contexts, including basic
research, target identification, assay development, and process development.
