CTC culture

Recently, MetaCell® technology provides a proven protocol to in vitro culturing of separated sporadic cells in blood. Thanks to the gently flow within the size based separation process the enriched cells are in very good viable condition. Following, we may set up a feasible and quick CTCs in vitro culture on the standardized porous polycarbonate membrane. The membrane itself is hold by the ring-shaped plastics. The desired polarization of the cells is supported simply by the natural flux of surrounding fluid (medium) through the ring – shaped plastics without any additional concentration gradient.
