Conference Title: 18th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences, MicroTAS 2014
Abstract: Here, an acoustophoresis chip is presented that is capable of separating cancer cells from white blood cells (WBCs) and subsequently concentrating the recovered cells in the same chip. The chip utilizes ultrasound standing waves in two dimensions to pre-align, separate and concentrate the cells. 92% of the cancer cells could be recovered while keeping the contamination level of WBCs to only 0.6%. The recovered cancer cells were concentrated 24 times. © 14CBMS.
