With the development of cancer research, precision medicine has become a global medical development trend. At the research end, cell lines or animals are usually used to complete experiments. In order to make the research closer to the clinic, it is best to use real clinical specimens for verification. At present, most of the sources of specimens obtained in Taiwan are in cooperation with hospitals. However, during the establishment of the IRB plan, there may be problems such as delay in finding a cooperative unit, lagging behind in the acceptance of cases, or incomplete clinical information records, which may lead to research plans. Delays; the commercial clinical samples represented by MiteK allow you to obtain primary cancer cells directly without IRB application, the sample acquisition process is fast and simple, and provide rich clinical data and accurate sample source information, so Dissociated tumor cells (DTCs) are bound to improve the efficiency of research!
Dissociated Tumor Cells (DTCs) are the closest alternative to Fresh tumor tissue. DTCs are tumor cells isolated from solid tumors. The preparation method is to homogenize the tumor to obtain sustainable cultured cancer cells. According to different tumor locations and characteristics, there will be different cell populations. The tumor microenvironment will also be different, so as to be closer to the real clinical situation.
Discovery Life Sciences, as the sample supplier recommended by the US FDA during the COVID-19 epidemic, has more than 10 million biospecimens and biobanks of clinical sites (Discovery Partners®) across five continents, and has CLIA certified Laboratory and an ISO13485 certificate. The collection of specimens complies with IRB specifications and ensures that the information is completely delinked. I believe that the quality of samples, data validity and subsequent document submission will be smoother!
