Rare cells are low-abundance cells in a much larger population of background cells.
Conventional benchtop techniques have limited capabilities to isolate and analyze rare cells …

Isolation and enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are used to monitor metastatic
disease progression and guide cancer therapy. However, currently available technologies …

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an electrokinetic method that allows intrinsic dielectric properties
of suspended cells to be exploited for discrimination and separation. It has emerged as a …

The application of dielectrophoretic field‐flow fractionation (depFFF) to the isolation of
circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from clinical blood specimens was studied using simulated …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are prognostic markers for the recurrence of cancer and may
carry molecular information relevant to cancer diagnosis. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) has been …

Efforts to improve the clinical management of several cancers include finding better methods
for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). However …

Although dielectrophoresis (DEP) has great potential for addressing clinical cell isolation
problems based on cell dielectric differences, a biological basis for predicting the DEP …

In this paper, a method for continuous flow separation of circulating malignant cells from
blood in a microfluidic device using dielectrophoresis is discussed. Separation of MDA231 …
