The Complete CTC Workflow Partner
From Capture to Characterization - One Partner, Complete Solutions
For too long, CTC research has been fragmented across incompatible platforms, lost samples, and workflow gaps. Yamato Life Science changes everything. We're the first to deliver a fully integrated circulating tumor cell workflow—from initial harvest through single-cell analysis and NGS characterization—with seamless connectivity between every step.
Our expertly curated portfolio connects industry-leading technologies: CellBxHealth's Parsortix® PR1 system, CellKeep™ retention technology, Curiosis Celloger® imaging, and IoTaSciences' automation platform. More importantly, we've engineered the connections between them.

CellKeep™ Slide
The CellKeep Slide consists of a coated glass slide clipped into a plastic funnel assembly creating closed system for centrifugation and optimising cell retention for downstream imaging analysis
Cell retention
CellKeep’s unique design helps to maximize cell retention offering significant improvement over the leading market alternative.
Cellular integrity
Proprietary wicking cap removes supernatant without significantly impacting cell count.
Imaging analysis
CellKeep slides enable high quality IF labeling and imaging of intact epithelial, transitional and mesenchymal CTCs.
Lower antibody cost
Focused cell fixation area reduces the volume of antibodies needed for downstream IF analysis.
Workflow integration
Cytospin 4 adaptor facilitates integration into existing laboratory workflows. CellKeep funnel detaches so the slide can be used directly on a microscope.
PICKING PLATFORM
Gentle single-cell isolation made easy
The automated modular Picking Platform delivers a simple and streamlined single-cell isolation and picking workflow
PARSORTIX® PR1
Simple. Easy. Flexible. Customisable.
The Partortix® PR1 system gives translational researchers the power to capture and harvest circulating tumour and other cells of interest from as little as 100 µL blood samples, providing greater flexibility in downstream analysis.
