Cell-free DNA capture reagents for liquid biopsy and cancer diagnostics
BIOCAPTIVA is a biotechnology company developing novel cell-free DNA capture technology to improve liquid biopsy for cancer research and diagnostics.
Its proprietary polymer platform captures cfDNA directly from whole blood without centrifuges or additional reagents, delivering substantially higher cfDNA yields than standard blood draws.
The company's kits are available for research use and feed directly into next-generation sequencing workflows.
Longer-term development targets clinical diagnostic applications for early cancer detection and disease monitoring.
