RareCyte Arv7/Synaptophysin Panel Kit

Aug 27, 2020

RareCyte's Arv7/Synaptophysin Panel Kit is a research-use-only dual-biomarker liquid biopsy assay for androgen receptor splice variant 7 (Arv7) and the neuroendocrine marker synaptophysin (SYP) that enables customers to evaluate the expression of both biomarkers on circulating tumor cells from prostate cancer patients. The assay comprises processing blood to slides with the AccuCyte Sample Preparation System followed by staining with the ARv7/Synaptophysin kit and imaging on a CyteFinder instrument. Machine learning-enabled analysis and scoring maximizes reviewer concordance. In addition, the RareCyte platform enables cell-free DNA analysis on the same sample, providing a comprehensive liquid biopsy assessment of tumor status, the company said.
