RE: Myriad Genetics collaboration. So they intend to compare1 Sep 2025 16:48
Hopester.
"Observing a tumour cell on a slide does not mean that it could be easily extracted for further analysis.
There may be more up to date methods of slide preparation than FFPE (happy to be educated on this), but this prep method will alter the viability of the cell.
The liquidising and Parsortix extraction method that I mentioned earlier could deliver viable cells for analysis with very little delay.
It could provide viable tumour cells from a solid tissue sample before any have been released into the bloodstream as CTCs.
I wonder if something like that is being explored."
All IMHO

Interesting. So you liquidise the tissue sample (or part of it). Then run that liquid through the Parsortix machine to get the CTC's or should I say tumour cells out for DNA analysis. Sounds possible to me, but I'm not an expert. Food for thought.
The sp rise is more likely due to the JV with Myriad Genetics, the rumoured NHS visit and the interest from other Genetic analysis Co's that know Parsortix delivers live intact ctc's ideal for DNA analysis. What do they do if Myriad get an exclusice deal. Get some tissues and have a cry?
All IMHO.
