Endothelial Cell Kit for Use in Cell Analysis

An endothelial cell kit called CellTracks is used in conjunction with CellTracks AutoPrep system for blood sample preparation and the CellSpotter analyzer to capture, count, and characterize circulating endothelial cells from whole blood. The kit is for research use only (RUO).

Endothelial cells form the lining of blood vessels and play a key role in the development of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Enumeration and characterization of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) may provide insights into the nature of specific disease processes and response to treatment. The kit was developed by Immunicon Corp. (Huntingdon Valley, PA, USA).

"This is an important milestone for Immunicon,” said Leon Terstappen, M.D., Ph.D., CSO of Immunicon. "The CellTracks endothelial cell kit is the second major application of our technology for rare cell analysis. We believe this product will add significant value in many research applications and potentially opens up new opportunities for Immunicon to develop diagnostic products in cardiovascular disease and other fields.”
