20140147883 | FILTER SUPPORT WITH A PHASE-CHANGING MEDIUM - The present invention relates to a method for processing isolated cells, in particular rare cells such as circulating tumor cells, to render them suitable for optical imaging, comprising the steps of (a) depositing filter material comprising captured cells on a phase-change medium; (b) melting said phase-change medium until the medium is spread out below said filter material; and (c) lowering the temperature of said phase-change medium until the medium solidifies, resulting in an optically flat filter comprising said cells at a fixed position. The method may additionally comprise an initial step of capturing a cell on a filter material. The phase-change medium, preferably paraffin wax, may comprise a porous, or mesh-like structure allowing the passage of a fluid through the medium. The phase-change medium may further be mounted on a carrier such as a glass carrier or a polymer material carrier. The present invention further relates to processed filter material comprising isolated cells suitable for optical imaging, which is obtainable by the method; the use of such filter material for diagnostic, histological, microbiological, biochemical, oncologic, or hematologic analysis, as well as a device for isolating cells or processing cells to render them suitable for optical imaging. | 05-29-2014 |
