Yes. Vita-Cap is designed to capture directly live rare cells from whole blood in one step. There are three types of rare cells emigrating from solid tissues in the blood; i.e. cancer progenitor cells in patients blood, endothelial progenitor cells in all blood samples and fetal cells in maternal blood. These cells are rare and only reported present in peripheral blood, ranging 5 to 500 cells per mL of blood.
