Automated microfluidic device for the separation of cancer cells from blood

The ability to separate cells based on biomechanical properties such as size and deformability is emerging as a potential alternative to biochemical methods for cell separation, particularly in cases where biochemical markers are unknown or expressed at low levels. The separation of circulating tumo...
