Sorting and Purification of Human Cancer Stem-Like Cells from Human Blood

Caption

Sorting and purification of human cancer stem-like cells (HuSLCs) from human blood using the novel inertial microfluidic vortex sorter. (a) Photograph of the microfluidic device. (b) Microscopic bright-field images showing the double sorting and purification of HuSCLs from human red blood cells (RBC) using the two microvortex chambers. (c) Microscopic bright-field images illustrating samples before sorting (inlet) and after sorting (outlets O1,O2,O3) indicating successful purification of HuSLCs from outlet 3 (O3). The scale bars are 10 mm in (a) and 50 ?m in (b)-(c).
