Microfiltration for Circulating Tumor Cells

Personalized Cancer Therapy and Disease Monitoring

“Liquid biopsy” using circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsy to determine cancer therapy.

Enumeration of CTCs is used to indicate prognosis and to monitor treatment.

Isolation of CTCs by size exclusion is a widely researched technique to collect CTCs from patient peripheral blood. Creatv’s precision fabrication method produces microfilters, CellSieveTM with dense, uniform pores.
