Biotechnology - Therapeutics and Diagnostics

Molecular diagnostics

Neoplasms / cancer / oncology

CelLBxHealth PLC is a UK-based, publicly traded specialist diagnostics company focused on Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) intelligence for use in research, drug development, and precision oncology. The core technology is the Parsortix® platform, a patented, FDA-cleared liquid biopsy system that utilizes microfluidics to capture and harvest intact, viable CTCs from a simple blood sample. The isolated cells can then be subjected to comprehensive downstream multi-omic analysis, including DNA, RNA, and protein profiling, providing unique biological insights that complement traditional tissue biopsies and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) testing. The company's commercial strategy centers on accelerating the adoption of the Parsortix platform and the consumables through Product Sales, offering bespoke services through its GCLP-certified Laboratory Services business, and developing proprietary Lab Developed Tests (LDTs) in collaboration with strategic partners in the diagnostics and biopharma industries.
