Obtaining high resolution glycan data has traditionally required patience. Typical analysis methods can take up to a full day. Not any longer. SCIEX Fast Glycan Labeling and Analysis delivers rapid glycan heterogeneity identification, capable of profiling your glycans in record time. Combining simplified sample preparation, rapid separations and automated glycan identification, you can make confident decisions quickly by running glycans up to five-times faster than HILIC.

Here we take a look at the use of microfluidic devices in the isolation and analysis of circulating tumor cells.

Dr Christoph Merten of the EMBL describes the benefits and challenges of working on the microscale.
