Company Summary

Eta Diagnostics is devoted to the commercialization of the high throughput “massively parallel” flow cytometry technology invented at the University of New Mexico. This technology will dramatically increase the throughput of today’s conventional serial single channel flow cytometers, thereby opening up many new biomedical applications such as the analysis of rare cells in human blood, a key example of which are Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs).
