DEVICES AND METHODS FOR MAGNETIC ISOLATION AND ANALYSIS OF RARE CELLS

Unmet NeedNumerous devices and methods have been developed to try and isolate circulating tumor cells in a reproducible and efficient manner. To date, the majority of work has been performed utilizing the CellSearch test, which is the only FDA-approved device. However, the CellSearch test is limited by the associated expense and not being able to be...
