The platform is already in clinical use at institutions such as Tzu Chi Hospital and Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital.According to Chien-Hsiang Tang, Vice President of HUA TEC International, Nano CAST utilizes semiconductor wafer-level surface modification to efficiently capture target cells circulating in the bloodstream. The system integrates precision mechanics and optical modules to automate cell capture, staining, and imaging. AI-driven image analysis then identifies and differentiates cancer cells from other cell types, enabling clinicians to execute targeted cell isolation, image interpretation, and downstream diagnostic analysis directly from blood samples.Nano CAST Supports the Full Cancer Care CycleAs semiconductor processes continue to advance, complex biochemical analyses that once required large laboratory setups can now be executed through highly integrated semiconductor biochips - making real-time testing more accessible and scalable. While genomic sequencing remains the most common application of such semiconductor-enabled medical technologies, HUA TEC is one of the few Taiwanese companies to extend semiconductor-based diagnostics into protein and biomarker analysis, particularly demonstrating strong breakthroughs in the field of liquid biopsy for oncology.Huang explained that Nano CAST is built upon two core components: the Cell Reveal Series and the CMS 200. The Cell Reveal Series uses semiconductor biochip technology to isolate specific or abnormal cells, forming nanoscale structures through plasma treatment, etching, and chemical modification that significantly enhance cell capture efficiency. The CMS 200 serves as the AI-driven imaging system that rapidly and objectively interprets captured cell and tissue images.Together, the system covers the complete clinical pathway of cancer care - from early detection of rare circulating tumor cells in blood, to monitoring treatment response, to identifying minimal residual disease (MRD) after therapy. By providing clinicians with earlier, more precise, and more actionable insights into disease progression, Nano CAST strengthens decision-making across the continuum of cancer management.TTA's High-Impact Global Pavilion Strategy Helps Drive Expansion into Central Asia, Europe, and the USAfter achieving notable milestones in Taiwan and obtaining BSI ISO 13485:2016 certification for medical device quality management, HUA TEC has accelerated its international expansion in recent years, establishing a presence in Thailand, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong.
