Angle plc’s Parsortix system, which captures and harvest circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for liquid biopsy analysis, has been used in breakthrough work by researchers at the University of New Mexico looking into the role of CTC gene expression in the progression of melanoma brain metastasis. The researchers used the Parsortix system to harvest CTCs for analysis and concluded that “… gene expression in CTCs could be pivotal to prescribing more targeted treatment based on the needs of the patient.”
