Enumeration of epithelial and mesenchymal CTC populations

ANGLE has a standardised and fully integrated workflow for the enumeration and evaluation of epithelial and mesenchymal CTCs and CTC clusters. The workflow integrates:

  • ANGLE’s Parsortix system for CTC capture (capturing both epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes), together with;
  • an optimised and customisable panel of antibodies for identification of the full range of CTCs (and exclusion of WBC), and;
  • Bioview imaging solutions for the evaluation and enumeration of CTCs

Data report

Report for each sample processed is shared back with you.

ANGLE is able to include specific protein markers according to your needs.

The performance of Parsortix technology has been demonstrated in multiple third party and peer reviewed publications. We would be pleased to share exemplary data obtained from our integrated enumeration workflow.
