CELLTRACKS®AUTOPREP® System
The system standardizes the process for optimal recovery and reproducible results with:
- Easy-to-use software assay protocols that allow batch processing of up to 8 samples with complete walk-away operation
- Minimal hands-on time and off-line processing
- Sensors that check sample and reagent parameters at multiple points during analysis to ensure quality results
- Capability for standardized pre-analytical preparation of CTCs with complete process control
- True quantitative results that are reported because the entire MAGNEST Cartridge Holder is analyzed
Immunomagnetic sample preparation is fully automated (no manual preparation is required), including:
- Aspiration of plasma; addition of anti-EpCAM ferrofluid and buffer
- Magnetic incubation
- Aspiration of unlabeled cells
- Magnet removal with cells resuspended in buffer
- Cell labeling with staining reagents: anti-CK-PE identifies intracellular cytokeratins 8, 18, and/or 19; DAPI stains nuclear material; anti-CD45-APC identifies leukocytes
- Transfer to MAGNEST Cartridge Holder and review with CELLTRACKS ANALYZER II® System
