Cell Culture
Cell cultures are dynamic populations that must be monitored frequently to identify changes in their conditions. Knowing the performance profile of your cell culture or primary cells prior to running your bioassay can mean the difference between valid assay results or wasted reagents, lost time, and discarded data.
Profiling key cellular indicators, such as apoptotic fraction and stage of apoptosis, viability, cell cycle, cell counts, transfection efficiency, or target expression levels, will allow your lab to establish uniform standards of cellular performance. These standards can be applied to a wide range of bioassays.
Traditional methods for monitoring cell culture health, such as manual trypan blue exclusion, suffer from subjectivity, operator to operator variability, and potential over estimation of viability. Guava Systems provide an ideal solution for evaluation of cell cultures for many different parameters in addition to cell counts and viability measurements quickly and easily, using a single platform right in your own laboratory.
