=== A complete sample-to-answer solution that will help physicians make information-driven decisions === The blood sample (extracted by conventional venipuncture, the collection method that is usually used for laboratory testing) along with several reagents are loaded on the CytoCatch™ isolation platform, which automatically performs the necessary steps to prepare and process the sample, capturing the CTCs contained in it. '''The unit has an outstanding performance, it has the sensitivity to isolate a single CTC from a background of 56 billion blood cells, and has recovery rates above 96% when processing 10 mL blood samples spiked with tumor cells from prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer cell lines''', meaning that the platform recovers at least 96 out of 100 tumor cells spiked into the sample [11]. Once captured, the CytoCatch™ isolation platform executes an automated protocol to stain the collected cells with fluorescent antibodies for their further analysis with the CytoCatch™ imaging system, which possesses special routines and machine learning algorithms that analyze the captured cells based on their morphology and the expression of specific markers. The fact that all these processes are fully automated increases the reliability and reproducibility of the assay by preventing human errors and cell loss due to manual steps. Furthermore, '''the collected cells are compatible with traditional molecular biology techniques and next generation sequencing technologies, enabling the performance of molecular analyses to assess the genetic characteristics of the captured CTCs'''. Finally, the treating physician will get a report with the corresponding results.
