General Biologicals CellBio FX10, CellBio a2000, and RealQuant AIO

Jul 25, 2023

General Biologicals, a Taiwanese in vitro diagnostics manufacturer, has unveiled two CellBio circulating tumor cell (CTC) cancer detection products at the Association for Diagnostics and Laboratory Medicine (formerly the American Association for Clinical Chemistry) annual meeting. The two systems, the CellBio FX10 and CellBio a2000 both use GBC's proprietary iFiltration technology. Among claimed advantages, the firm cites detection from 7.5-mL blood samples with high specificity, sensitivity, and cancer capture rate, with a 90-minute turnaround time. The CellBio FX10 can work with 10 samples at a time with a full-color touch screen, while CellBio a2000 can detect two samples at a time in small-space labs. 

In addition to CTC systems, GBC also introduced its sample-to-results automated system, GB RealQuant AIO. The system consolidates extraction, amplification, and detection in one integrated instrument, providing results within two hours, and works with all GB RealQuant HBV, HCV, and HPV Kits.
