Streck and Ceres Join Forces for Biopsy Innovation
Streck is proud to announce an extraordinary partnership with Ceres Nanosciences to distribute the innovative Nanotrap Extraction Advanced Technology (NEAT) Liquid Biopsy Kit – Streck BCT on a global scale. This state-of-the-art kit is designed to efficiently capture, concentrate, and extract circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma samples, enabling significant advancements in cancer research.
Revolutionizing Cancer Research with NEAT
The NEAT Liquid Biopsy Kit – Streck BCT is a major leap forward in the field of liquid biopsy. Researchers recognize the immense value of identifying critical biomarkers from even a few milliliters of blood. Nonetheless, the reality is that these biomarkers often exist in sparse quantities. Additionally, blood samples can degrade over time, releasing proteins and nucleic acids that hinder the clarity of biomarker concentrations. By using the NEAT Liquid Biopsy Kit in tandem with Streck's blood collection tubes, researchers can ensure that samples maintain their integrity from collection through analysis, achieving high yield and purity of the isolated cfDNA.
Insights from Both Leaders in Innovation
Matthew Kreifels, the Vice President of Sales, MarCom, and Business Development at Streck, expressed excitement about this collaboration: "We are thrilled to launch this innovative product from our strategic partner, Ceres. The NEAT Liquid Biopsy Kit will streamline processes and enhance results for our customers when combined with Streck's stabilization solutions." Meanwhile, Robbie Barbero, Ph.D., the Chief Business Officer at Ceres Nanosciences, remarked, "We are eager to witness how our innovative customers will leverage the NEAT Liquid Biopsy Kit along with Streck's blood collection tubes to explore new frontiers in liquid biopsies."
Ensuring Quality and Reliability
It is important to note that the performance characteristics of the Cell-Free DNA BCT have been validated solely on the Guardant360® CDx assay. The Nucleic Acid BCT and the NEAT Liquid Biopsy Kit – Streck BCT are intended for Research Use Only and are not suitable for diagnostic procedures. Researchers should utilize the Nucleic Acid BCT only in the context of research or assay development.
