Method MCF-7 tumor cells were spiked into donor blood samples or directly onto microscope glass slides using ® ® FACSAria cell sorter. Recoveries of MCF-7 cells were analyzed with CytoTrack or CellSearch methods. Microscopy (n=3) recovery Spiking efficiency CK MCF-7 tumor cells culturing 150 MCF-7 CellSearch ® DAPI CD45 DAPI/CK recovery (n=5) CytoTrack ® recovery (n=5) Results ® CytoTrack ® CellSearch Recoveries of the MCF-7 cells were determined by the or methods and given as either single MCF-7 cells or events. Results are based on five replicate tests. Error bars represent 95% CI. No significant difference in methods of CTC recovery (p>0.05 ) was observed.
