Circulating Tumor Cell (Ctc) Enrichment Device

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
A circulating tumor cell enrichment device is an in vitro diagnostic device used to enrich circulating tumor cells from the peripheral blood of patients diagnosed with cancer for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing.
Physical State
The device includes single-use cassettes for the size-based CTC retention and an automated fluidic handling system.
Technical Method
Capturing and harvesting rare cells (e.g. CTCs) from blood is based on cell size and deformability (i.e. compressibility). The isolation/capture mechanism is a purely physical method rather than a chemical or biological one, and therefore epitope independent and consequently agnostic to cellular phenotype.
Target Area
Metastatic cancer patient blood for enrichment of CTCs for subsequent analysis.
