Dielectrophoresis has broad applicability to marker-free isolation of tumor cells from blood by microfluidic systems

The number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) found in blood is known to be a prognostic marker for recurrence of primary tumors, however, most current methods for isolating CTCs rely on cell surface markers that are not universally expressed by CTCs. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) can discriminate and mani...
