Ultra-sensitive liquid biopsy starts with superior cfDNA recovery
Avant Source™ is a hands-free, plasma-to-DNA solution built for applications when ctDNA is hardest to detect.
The science
Liquid biopsy is only as reliable as its sample preparation.
Today the workflow is largely manual: dozens of labor-intensive steps that vary lab to lab and reduce tumor-derived cell-free DNA recovery. Avant Source automates the front end with a cartridge-based system born from a decade of microfluidics and nucleic-acid research at the University of Virginia.
Automated cfDNA extraction
Plasma in, purified cfDNA out, with no pipetting, no drift, no hands-on variability.
Cartridge-grade consistency
A standardized, fully integrated workflow that scales across labs, reliable enough for routine clinical use.
From plasma to purified cfDNA
65%+ higher cfDNA yield vs. semi-automated prep
One cartridge. Plasma in, purified cfDNA out.
Cell-free DNA is isolated directly from plasma, with no manual pipetting to introduce loss or variability.
