DURAClone RE CTC Tube, 15 Tests, RUO

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are believed to carry valuable information on their solid tumor origin. Before molecular analysis of CTCs can unfold its power, the extremely rare CTCs need to be isolated at highest possible cellular integrity, making cell sorting a promising approach.

The DURAClone RE CTC Tube consists of ready-to-use tubes containing a mix of 3 antibodies conjugated to fluorochrome (Cytokeratin-FITC, CD326 (EpCAM)-APC and CD45-PC7) and a viability dye (DAPI). The DURAClone RE CTC Tube requires the use of the PerFix CTC permeabilization buffer to allow detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). To allow detection of very rare events such as CTCs, large sample volumes of whole blood from 1 to 5 mL can be processed. The tube can be used for cellular analysis and cell sorting experiments.

The selected antibody conjugate configuration does not require compensation.
