Cytological staining is essential to identify and count circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood. Using specific protocols such as H&E, MGG or RAL555, this method highlights the unique morphological characteristics of CTCs, providing key information for cancer diagnosis, monitoring and research.
Cytological staining 100SKMEL5 RAL X40 2
With ScreenCell kits, it is possible to achieve three types of cytological staining: H&E, MGG and RAL555, offering flexibility adapted to the needs of clinical and research applications.
