ClearCell FX1 System

Biolidics

One of the world’s first automated cell retrieval systems that can enrich wholly intact and viable Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) from small amounts of blood in a relatively short time. Combined with the high levels of purity, the CTCs are enriched in suspension, which allows for easy integration with downstream molecular analyses and diagnostic assays.

 

The workflow

Main features

• Label-free CTC enrichment of heterogenous populations of cancer cells
• Up to 10,000x enrichment of CTCs that are wholly intact, viable and path-lab ready
• Large blood volume enrichment from 7.5 ml of patient’s blood
• Fast processing time of <1 hour
• Automated workflow
• Sensitive, with a high dynamic range
• CE IVD and ISO 13485 certified, verifying comprehensive quality management
• Ready integration with a wide variety of downstream molecular diagnostics and pathology assay

 

Downtsream applications:

• Immunofluorescence
• Fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH)
• Protein analysis
• In vitro or in vivo tumour models
• Genetic analysis

 

The CTChip FR

The microfluidic biochip captures CTCs based on inertial characteristics such as size and deformability, relative to other blood components 

• Cells focused within the microfluidic channels of the CTChip FR
• Use Dean Flow fractionation
• Label-free approach
• Retaining cell viability
