Abstract
Cancer is one of the most serious diseases facing human being. Improvement on cancer diagnostics has proved to be important for the outcome of cancer patients. We report here a novel micro membrane filtration device that captures rare circulating tumor cells from whole blood for early cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring. The device is fabricated with multi layers of polymer material parylene-C. Tested with the model system, the device can capture tumor cells from whole blood with 86.5% capture efficiency. Different from previous membrane filtration devices, the cells are alive up to at least two weeks after isolation.
