Evaluating CTC isolation device performance

Keywords CTC: Circulating tumor cell. Read about what they are and why they’re important here. Leukocyte: White blood cell. Erythrocyte: Red blood cell. I’ve previously discussed how to sort CTCs, and the standards used to characterize device performance. Today, I’ll explain what some of the most common evaluation metrics are, and place them in context [...]
