Our mission is to become a leader in providing unique integrated cell analysis solutions for the life science research markets.

"We develop novel cell analysis tools that provide the life scientist with solutions that are just a click away."
-- Dr. Nagesh Mhatre,
-- Chairman of the Board of Directors

The recent advances in genomics and proteomics have produced an unprecedented amount of information about the components of individual cells. The challenge now is to understand how these components are directed and interact at the cellular level. The application of cellular assays forms the basis of achieving this understanding and for driving basic research and drug discovery. This will require cellular assay tools that analyze characteristics of single cells very rapidly and are yet accessible to individual cell biologists. It is here at this exciting crossroads where Guava Technologies and its Personal Cytometer are uniquely positioned.

Guava's technology comprises a device platform, expandable operating software and a series of applications specific reagents and protocols. A strong intellectual property position has been established, especially for our novel fluidic concept that eliminates the need for sheath fluid.

Just as the Personal Computer gave everyone access to computing power, Guava's technology will give cell biologists access to the power of Personal Cytometry. The Guava PC will revolutionize cellular analysis by giving cell biologists the flexibility to conduct their own assays quickly, affordably and accurately.
