Abstract
The RareCyte CyteFinder instrument is an automated scanner that allows rapid identification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) on microscope slides prepared by the AccuCyte process (see Chapter 13) and stained by immunofluorescence. Here, we present the workflow for CyteFinder scanning, analysis, and CyteMapper scan review which includes CTC confirmation and report generation.
