Portrait+ CTC staining kit
Shine a new light on cancer cells with the combined power of the Portrait®+ CTC staining kit and Parsortix®technology
Portrait®+ CTC Staining Kit
Reveal more with the illuminating power of CTCs
- Provides advanced immunofluorescent staining of CTCs enriched from blood by Parsortix technology
- Enables the identification and enumeration of epithelial and mesenchymal cells including those undergoing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT)
- EMT is a key transition step in cancer cells, and is associated with tumour progression, the development of drug resistance, and metastasis1-3
Discover a new level of clarity
The Portrait+ CTC staining kit uses direct staining and an optimised, vivid dye combination, to ensure high signal intensity while maintaining high analytical specificity and sensitivity.
- Visualise CTCs from multiple cancer types, including ovarian, breast, lung and prostate
- Provides insights to help you make more informed decisions about further downstream analysis
Easy to use, reliable results
Antibodies are supplied pre-mixed and lyophilised for ease-of-use and long-term storage
- Have confidence with consistent, reliable results from fully validated, standardised protocols
- Provides an alternative to costly and time-consuming in-cassette staining
Efficiency without compromise
The Portrait+ CTC staining kit includes the CellKeep™ slide, a unique CTC harvesting technology to maximise the retention of CTCs enriched from blood samples.
- Confines the harvested CTCs to a small area, reducing the volume of antibodies required for staining and decreasing imaging time
- Helps drive process efficiency and minimise cost
