INTRODUCTION
Sortcell Analytica is a spin-off from CIMA, Universidad de Navarra, and was founded to bring to the clinical market non-invasive and easy-to-use systems that isolate viable circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by liquid biopsy directly from whole blood samples. With our systems, we aimed to bridge the gap in early detection, treatment monitoring, relapse detection, and characterization of CTCs to enable personalized treatment.

Our Mission
Enable personalized cancer treatment by providing a patient’s peripheral blood test sample. Sortcell Analytica offers a product-based solution for simple, effective and affordable repeat testing of intact cells.
Our Vision
Sortcell Analytica aims to become the undisputed leader in non-invasive cell based applications for simpler, faster and more accurate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Technology
Sortcell analytica has developed the SCAchipTM : a microfluidic-based device for isolating viable CTCs. Once isolated, they can be analyzed in a variety of ways, such as by studying their morphology or their genetics. And all this in a non-invasive procedure by taking a sample from peripheral blood.
The SCAchipTM is designed to fit into the SCA-1TM instrument, a fully integrated system that can process a blood sample in less than 3 hours. This allows the sorted, viable CTCs to be used for downstream analysis. In addition, our SCAchipTM is designed to potentially work with any type of tumor because it is based on the principle of equilibrium between buoyancy and Dean forces, which is different from most other systems that classify particles by filtration. In our method, cells flow freely over the entire chip without being damaged.
