CytoTrack ApS was established in 2004, and the first product was released on the market in 2011.
CytoTrack is an affiliate of the engineering consultancy 2C A/S.

he technology was invented as a part of a research development project at The National Hospital of Denmark. The project was headed by Professor John Philip.The application was to identify FCMB (Foetal Cells in Maternal Blood).

The project discovered that conventional instruments such as flowcytometry and common fluorescent scanners were not good enough for this type of application and could not detect the extremely rare foetal cells and could not offer features for molecular characterization.

The CytoTrack technology was invented and developed specifically for the challenges of rare cell detection by Christian Caspersen. Other applications such as detection of CTCs were soon adopted.

In 2004, the first recognized paper about CTCs were published in The New England Journal of Medicine. This paper was the first to demonstrate the clinical value of enumeration of CTCs. Since then, CytoTrack has developed and optimized CytoTrack technology to show breakthrough performance within the CTC application.

In 2011, CytoTrack commercially released the CytoTrack technology.
