At Glycanostics, we have developed an early-stage, highly accurate and unique cancer diagnostic test.
- it is fully compatible with automatic equipment commonly used, and is potentially applicable to the screening of several different cancer types
- it is suitable for disease monitoring as it provides quantitative and qualitative information
Our patented technology for screening cancers detects changes in a glycan attached to a protein in the blood and covers possible diagnostics of eleven types of cancer. Cancer cells release increased levels of glycoproteins into the bloodstream. These glycoproteins, so-called biomarkers, are cancer antigens and are used in the detection of cancer from human blood. Minute amounts of serum are needed for testing. The Glycanostics testing technology is based on antibody-coated magnetic particles to selectively extract the desired biomarker from the serum. Finally the optical signal is generated in the event that the sample contains a biomarker produced by cancer cells
