  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF PLATELET RICH PLASMA
    Publication number: 20200061260
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and method for the preparation of platelet rich plasma, and to the plasma obtained by employing said device and method. The method comprises evaporating and dialysing plasma with the device of the invention to provide a plasma enriched in platelets and non-platelet biomolecules. The plasma thus obtained shows improved regenerative properties with respect to other plasma preparations.

  • OPTOFLUIDIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CIRCULATING TUMOUR CELLS
    Publication number: 20200055048
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microfluidic device for the detection of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in a fluid sample. The invention also relates to an in vitro method for the detection and/or quantification of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in a fluid sample. Further, the invention relates to in vitro methods for (a) diagnosing a tumour and/or metastasis in a subject, and (b) determining the prognosis of a subject suffering from a tumour and/or metastasis. Finally, the invention refers to a kit comprising (a) a microfluidic device according to the first aspect of the invention, and (b) labelled probes targeting a first CTCs surface marker and, optionally, at least a second CTCs surface marker.
