On QCDx

Precision cancer medicine depends on early cancer diagnosis, monitoring of treatment efficacy and surveillance for disease recurrence. QCDx LLC is an early-stage company who developed the RareScope™ instrument for precise detection and characterization of rare cells in bodily fluids. In cancer applications it detects different phenotypes of live circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and isolates CTCs for single-cell, molecular analysis from an immobilized cell suspension. It is also designed to allow perfusion with media containing bioactive substances (including drugs) with longitudinal visualization, to assess effects on target cells. The fully automated CTC liquid biopsy will deliver high throughput and assist the clinical oncologist in offering precision treatment that will improve both clinical outcomes and the patient’s quality of life.
