Highly efficient circulating tumor cells isolation using silicon microsieve with controlled pore diameter

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are rare in peripheral blood from cancer patients, but probably result in cancer metastasis. Herein we present a novel device to isolate the CTCs for effectively enumerating the CTCs from blood samples without sample dilution or antibody conjugation. The device utilizes the distinct morphology and size difference of cancer cells and leukocytes to extract the CTCs. The device contains densely packed pore arrays with optimized pore diameter, effectively retaining > 94% of various cancer cells.
