Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are promising markers to determine cancer patient prognosis and track disease response to therapy. We present a multi-stage microfluidic device we have developed that utilizes inertial and Dean drag forces for isolating CTCs from whole blood. We demonstrate a 94.2% ± 2.1% recovery of cancer cells with our device when screening whole blood spiked with MCF-7 GFP cells.
