LiquidScan

ENABLES ANALYSIS OF RARE CELLS (CTCs, FETAL CELLS) AND EXOSOMES

LiquidScan uses high-fidelity pipetting robotics to supply blood or other liquid biopsy samples to BioFluidica microfluidic chips positioned on the LiquidScan Module. The chips are surfaced with anti-biomarker antibodies for biomarker capture and the “no-loss” closed-loop pipetting system eliminates sample loss and aerosols and allows a relatively large volume of blood to be passed through the microfluidic chips. Captured cells or exosomes are released from the chip and collected for downstream molecular analysis.

Consumables

LIQUIDSCAN REAGENT KITS

  • Reagent plate with contents ready to process 4 or 8 microfluidic chips

  • Microfluidic chips (4 or 8):

    • Antibody-surfaced sinusoidal chips for rare-cell capture or,
    • Antibody-surfaced pillar chips for exosome subpopulation capture
  • Sample tubes (8)

  • Waste tubes or re-process sample tubes (8)

BLOOD COLLECTION TUBES (BCTs)

  • BCTs allow for collecting whole blood by a phlebotomist and shipping to BioFluidica for processing or for local on-site processing.

  • BCTs are standard blood draw EDTA purple-capped vacuum collection tubes containing 0.5 ml of B3.
    (B3 = BioFluidica Blood Buffer to inhibit micro-clotting and allow for 24-hour room temperature shipping)

  • BCTs with B3 can be ordered in bulk lots separate from Reagent Kits
