Data analysis of a secretome made by cultures of non-haematological cells isolated by liquid biopsy of control and cancer patients. Bar chart plots of modulation m (b) and time constant τ (c) at sensor S5 for all samples are reported as a function of V. (d) Scatter plot of each m–τ pair is a point whose position varies depending on V. On varying V in the V1–V5 interval, m–τ doublets delineate a trajectory distinctive of measured samples. Trajectories associated to different sample types, i.e. control, patients and intermediate samples, are not intersecting. m–τ scatter plot of the whole data set acquired at V5–S5 is reported with (d) and without (e) identification labels. Data set into clusters (f), correctly operates assignation of C and P samples into two different groups
