CTC Services for Biopharmaceutical & Translational Research

CTC Enumeration & Cytological Profiling

Automated isolation, enumeration and characterisation of CTCs from whole blood, with cytological analysis

Custom Biomarker Assay Development

Tailored molecular assays targeting specific biomarkers in CTCs e.g. qPCR, FISH, and bespoke assay development

Single-Cell & Bulk Molecular Analysis

Molecular profiling of single cell and bulk CTCs, including genomics, methylation, gene expression and mutation analysis

Functional Phenotyping & Metastasis Models

Functional assays that evaluate CTC behaviour and metastatic potential through dynamic cell-based systems like the TetherChip platform

Preclinical Models & Pilot Study Support

Flexible solutions for pilot studies supporting POC and early-stage data generation (CTCs, plasma, ctDNA and exosomes), including animal model research

Integrate CTC analysis seamlessly into GCP clinical research pipelines, ensuring high-quality, reproducible results. Ideal for early and late-stage clinical trials.

CTC isolation is followed by immobilisation of cells on slides, then immunostaining followed by automated imaging for CTC detection and enumeration.

  • Label Free CTC Isolation
  • Live, Viable CTC
  • Long-term Slide Archival
  • Automated High-Resolution Imaging
  • Advanced Analytical Capabilities

Benefits:

  • Objective Enumeration Data
  • Fourth Channel for Characterisation Markers (e.g. EMT)
  • Rapid Laboratory Turnaround Time

Key Applications:

  • Assessing Treatment Response
  • Monitoring Disease Progression
  • Therapy Selection
  • Patient Stratification
