Used MILLIPORE Guava PCA #141481 for sale

MILLIPORE Guava PCA is an automated, high throughput analyzer that allows researchers to perform a wide range of cell analysis tasks in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods. This instrument is designed to deliver reliable and accurate results while achieving high levels of throughput. Using the integrated software, researchers can run cell morphology, adhesion, functional intracellular or secreted analytes, and kinetic assays. The hardware features on Guava PCA include a high performance cytofluorometric detector, an automated sample loading system, a microfluidic cartridge, and a 96-well sample plate. This combination of hardware allows for a wide range of sample types (including whole blood, tissue, cell lines, and bioreactors) to be analyzed in one session. For detailed analysis, MILLIPORE Guava PCA software offers several features including: automated data analysis, data analytics and visualization, image archiving, assay optimization and design, and precise instrument setup. The user friendly software also enables the capture of complex data sets with precise control over parameters such as gain, filter settings and analysis. For each sample, Guava PCA uses an LED excitation source with a wide spectral range of wavelengths to measure fluorescence, which is used to detect delicate parameters such as cell membrane permeability and other indicators of cell health. Multiple monitor channels are available to display data simultaneously, including brightfield/emission, histogram, flow cytometry, and scatter plots. The high throughput of the instrument accelerates the time to results for common assays and allows for a larger number of samples to be processed in a shorter amount of time. Furthermore, optimized protocols can be defined, and customized methods created, that make complex experiments cost effective and efficient to run. The automated functions of MILLIPORE Guava PCA also reduce the risk of human error when analyzing samples. Overall, Guava PCA is an automated, high-throughput analyzer that provides accurate and reliable results in shorter amounts of time. Its easy to use software, intuitive design, and wide range of applications make it a great tool for any research lab.
