Parsortix Update

Announced this week

• Achieved major milestone by using Parsortix cell separation device to successfully capture CTCs in cancer patient blood

• This is significant as actual cancer patient blood would be expected to contain only a very small number of CTCs in the sample as well as potential issues due to patient disease factors adversely affecting the performance of the separation technology

• The Parsortix separation technology offers the potential for a CTC isolation, capture and characterisation device, irrespective of cancer type, for:

- Early detection of cancer

- Monitoring of cancer patients during treatment

- Post-treatment monitoring of cancer patients in remission

• Key possibility to use the captured CTCs for molecular profiling to help define tumour biology and risk of progression
