Previously, the platform's API was only available through a specific program but now all IBM partners can build upon the collaboration suite technology.
While each of these detection and capture methods has their advantages, the drawbacks associated with the inherent properties of CTCs, as well as the challenging goal of capturing and culturing viable cells, mean current engineering must turn to new disciplines such as nanomaterials in order to build upon the wealth of technology already established.
"Quest Software and SonicWALL provide mission-critical software to a large and loyal base of over 180,000 customers, and we see significant opportunity to build upon the company's impressive technology and product portfolio," Francisco CEO Dipanjan "DJ" Deb said in a statement.
