Our lab or yours - MSB offers standardized, scalable sample processing in our CLIA facilities
Menarini Silicon Biosystems offers the FDA-Cleared CELLSEARCH® CTC test. Our antibody-based CELLSEARCH® technology captures, identifies and enumerates circulating tumor cells (CTC) of epithelial origin (CD45-, EpCAM+, and cytokeratins 8, 18+, and/or 19+) in whole blood.
For more information on the full intended use and limitations please see the Instructions for Use.
Using our CellSave® Tube, peripheral blood samples can be sent from anywhere in the world at room temperature to your lab or our Global Laboratory Service sites in the United States and Italy for CTC identification and enumeration.
