FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 23, 2003 Guava Technologies Inc, a leading provider of bench-top cellular analysis systems, has today announced a breakthrough in accurate and rapid high-throughput screening of cell lines and compounds. High-throughput screening of cell lines & compounds Guava Technologies Inc, a leading provider of bench-top cellular analysis systems, has today announced a breakthrough in accurate and rapid high-throughput screening of cell lines and compounds. The new Guava Personal Cell Analysis-96 (PCA-96) system streamlines cell monitoring and screening in a single, powerful system that anyone in your lab can use. The Guava PCA-96 is the first affordable, ultra-compact system to enable rapid, high-throughput screening of cell lines and compounds in both 96-well microplate and microcentrifuge tube format. Guava's PCA-96 system simplifies cell monitoring and screening using samples only a few microlitres in volume, experiments can be started sooner and finished faster, with minimal waste, streamlining the entire R&D process. The Guava PCA-96 offers turnkey operation in an integrated system consisting of the compact PCA-96 instrument, software to automatically analyse and archive data, and optimised reagents. Current screening assays available for the Guava PCA-96 include Cell Counting and Viability Assay, Protein Expression Assay and Apoptosis Assay. To accommodate evolving assay needs, the Guava PCA-96 system is expandable so that users can add new applications in the future. "The Guava PCA-96 has given us insights into a cell-based screen that we could not have achieved with conventional high throughput screening (HTS) assays," said Jill Gregory, Ph.D., staff scientist at Genzyme Corporation, an early user of the Guava PCA-96. "It has great value not only for assay development and drug lead optimisation, but is also a credible screening instrument giving high content readouts from a single well."
