About the Episode

Blood is run through dedicated channels on a microfluidic chip; CTCs are separated from leukocytes based on size, deformability and surface properties. This episode covers the capture principle, advantages over EpCAM-dependent methods, and the research possibilities enabled by keeping captured cells viable.

Why rare-event analysis discipline (sufficient blood volume, control strategy) is critical is also covered.
