Standardised assay development and custom solutions

Our standardised workflow makes ctDNA, epithelial and mesenchymal CTCs and CTC clusters accessible for downstream analysis. Comprehensive profiling of liquid biopsy samples for drug relevant biomarkers allow longitudinal monitoring of patients to determine:

  • Which patients are suitable for a clinical trial?
  • Is the drug reaching the intended target and inducing the intended response?
  • To what extent is the drug having an impact on the cancer?

Our expert team provides an outsourced solution for the customised analysis of your samples and a service that is tailored to your specifications.

An extension to your team

Providing global support from our GCP-compliant laboratory, our multidisciplinary team of clinical and scientific experts have many years of experience in CTC analysis. We will work with you to provide the best solution for your project including optimised and standardised workflows to ensure an efficient process and reproducible results.
