The AIM-traded company, formerly known as Angle and which specialises in circulating tumour cell, or CTC, solutions for research, drug development and clinical oncology, said the agreement would allow it to support AstraZeneca's drug discovery and development work through CTC-powered analytics of clinical trial samples.

It said the work would use its Parsortix platform, which is designed to analyse circulating tumour cells.

Chief executive officer Peter Collins said the agreement would give AstraZeneca access to CelLBxHealth's capabilities across its development pipeline.

"We are delighted to enter into this master services agreement which enables AstraZeneca to access our capabilities across their development pipeline," Collins said.

"We look forward to delivering strong and productive outcomes through this framework."
