Capture live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and CTC clusters from whole blood

GB CellBio™ technology is a platform for capturing CTC using patented iFiltration™ solution in automated systems (a2000 and FX10).

Both CellBio™ a2000 and FX10 offers automated solution in your laboratory. CellBio™ a2000 offers compact solution where FX10 offers higher capacity up to 10 samples per run.

CellBio™ Technology

GB CellBio™ is an automated platform that capture and harvest circulating tumor and other abnormal cells from blood for clinical and research applications.

Starting from a simple blood draw, which is non-invasive and can be repeated as often as needed, the system enriches to provide intact cancer cells, providing a real-time sample for subsequent analyses by common laboratory techniques, enabling a complete picture of the cancer. Unlike ctDNA, which is limited to DNA analysis and is the focus for most of the liquid biopsy industry, a full range of analyses can be undertaken with CTCs, giving a potential alternative to a tissue biopsy.

What is CTC?

How it works?

Step 1:
Collect a 10ml EDTA blood sample from the patient

Step 2:
Insert the sample tube into the GB CellBio™ a2000 with the iFiltration™ box installed. No pre-treatment is required.

Step 3:
Press the button, and the system will automatically pass the blood through the iFiltration™ box.

Step 4:
The iFiltration™ box will stain with the selected antibodies or Wright’s stain. CTCs or abnormal cells on the iFiltration™ box will be counted under a fluorescence microscope.
