Overview of the established workflow. Depicted is the established workflow for isolating and analyzing single CTCs with Reverse Phase Protein Arrays (RPPA). The workflow consists of three primary steps: (A) Capture and verification of CTCs using Diagnostic Leukapheresis (DLA) combined with the CellSearch® system. (B) Single cell/CTC picking with a glass capillary, followed by in situ lysing and mixing on a Micropick 48 slide™ and subsequent printing onto ZeptoChip using a modified CellCelector™ instrument. (C) RPPA analysis of the chip using the ZeptoReader
