Molecular Profiling & Diagnostics at Single Cell Level.

CTC Enumeration

After ApoStreamTM enrichment, CTCs can be further immunophenotyped by quantitative image analysis using ApoCell’s proprietary Laser Scanning Cytometry (LSC). Preliminary data indicate that ApoStreamTM technology is capable of isolating thousands of CTCs from advanced prostate and lung cancer patients. ApoCell is now using this technology to capture and identify CTCs from non-epithelial based cancers as well as increase the number of CTCs recovered from epithelial based cancers.

 

CTC Protein Analysis

ApoStreamTM technology provides unique advantages over immuno-labeling based approaches for isolating CTCs from a wide variety of cancers, especially in a viable state, can facilitate research into the molecular underpinning of disease condition and further enable personalized therapy.
