Alfa Cytology is committed to providing our clients with one-stop metastasis tumor models development services. Our goal is to provide reliable, reproducible and translatable models that accurately reflect human disease, to accelerate the process of translating from the lab to therapy.
Tumor metastasis is a continuous cascade process involving multiple factors, in which only a very small number of tumor cells survive in circulation and undergo lethal metastasis. The use of the human body itself as an experimental object to delve into the mechanisms of disease occurrence to advance medicine has been slow; the accumulated clinical experience is not only limited in time and space, but also many experiments are morally and methodologically restricted. Indirect studies with the help of animal models can observe the experimental results of models more accurately and conduct comparative studies with human diseases, which can help to understand the developmental patterns of human diseases more conveniently and effectively in order to study the prevention and control measures. It is a good research tool especially in tumor and microenvironment related studies.

Metastatic tumor animal models can provide a better research platform for tumor metastasis research, and also provide a good experimental tool for the study of the role of tumor microenvironment in tumor development and treatment, as well as the development of anti-tumor metastatic drugs.
At Alfa Cytology, we have established a mature tumor microenvironment center technology platform with a group of experienced tumor model customization experts and proven technologies designed to provide our global customers with efficient and validated tumor models for tumor and microenvironment research and antitumor drug discovery.
Alfa Cytology breaks down experimental and technical barriers to provide customization services for metastatic tumor animal models.
1. Metastasis in tumor animal models through in situ transplanted tumor cells.
2. Tumor cells are injected through multiple routes such as tail vein, portal vein, left ventricle, bone, spleen, and lymph nodes.
