Microchannel device to detect cancer cells in blood

Caption

By imprinting microcones on polycarbonate sheets followed by coating with human epithelial cell adhesion molecule antibodies, scientists from Japan have developed a microchannel-based diagnostic tool. Their device demonstrated high sensitivity while maintaining a capture efficiency of more than 90% at high flow rates.
