CellSearch^® CXC Control Cell Kit

The CellSearch^® CXC Control Cell Kit contains single-use bottles of fixed cells from a breast carcinoma cell line (SK-BR-3). A CellSearch^® CXC Control Cell bottle is substituted for a research sample to verify the performance of the CellSearch^® CXC Kit reagents, sample processing by the CellTracks^® AutoPrep^® System and cell analysis by the CellTracks Analyzer II^®. The cells are a single-level population and differentiated as control cells by the detection of fluorescence in the control channel of the CellTracks Analyzer II^®.

The CellTracks^® AutoPrep^® System is used to standardize and optimize the sample preparation protocol for use with the CellSearch^® CXC and CXC Control Cell Kits. Analysis and enumeration of circulating epithelial cells and control cells are performed using the CellTracks Analyzer II^®with the Linux operating system.
