OralAdvance™ Advantage
Use of OralAdvance™ technology gives several advantages to help dentists with the detection of early-stage oral cancer.
  • Its role is intended to be complementary to current standards of care.
  • OralAdvance™ utilizes a virtually painless soft cyto-brush kit to quickly collect oral mucosa from suspicious areas.
  • OralAdvance™ facilitates the detection of oral cancer in its earliest stages by detecting gross nuclear DNA abnormalities in oral epithelial cells by utilizing Perceptronix' innovative image cytometry technology.

Quantitative Cytology Assessment Device

Perceptronix has developed an automated DNA image cytometer (called ClearCyte™)( 1 ) which is designed to analyze slides stained with the Company's quantitative DNA staining kit. Both products have received Health Canada approval and the European CE mark as in-vitro diagnostic medical devices. As opposed to a conventional stain, the slides are stained specifically for DNA. This allows a computer-controlled high-resolution microscope (cytometer) to make measurements of thousands of cell nuclei and sort them according to their DNA content. DNA content provides the cytopathologist with an objective measure of large-scale DNA abnormality and it may indicate precancerous or cancerous changes in the tissue area sampled.
