TLDR
A filtering system that can quickly separate and highly concentrate cells from a large volume of solution, depending on their size, using a silicon membrane filter with various pore designs is developed.Abstract:
Selective cell enrichment technologies can play an important role in both diagnostic and therapeutic areas. However, currently used cell sorting techniques have difficulties in rapidly isolating only the desired target cells from a large volume of body fluids. In this work, we developed a filtering system that can quickly separate and highly concentrate cells from a large volume of solution, depending on their size, using a silicon membrane filter. To overcome the problems caused by material limitations of the brittle silicon, we designed a novel membrane filter with various pore designs. From these designs, the most optimal design with high pore density, while preventing crack formation was derived by applying fluid dynamics simulation and near-field stress analysis. The membrane filter system using the selected design was fabricated, and cell filtration performance was evaluated. The LNCaP cell in horse blood was recovered up to 86% and enriched to 187-fold compared to initial cell populations after filtration at a flow rate of 5 mL/min. The results demonstrate that the filter presented in this study can rapidly and selectively isolate target cells from a large volume of body fluid sample.read more

Deformability-based circulating tumor cell separation with conical-shaped microfilters: Concept, optimization, and design criteria
TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopt numerical simulation to study conical-shaped microfilters using deformability difference between CTCs and blood cells for the separation process and use the liquid drop model for modeling a CTC passing through such micro-filters and investigate the effect of conical angle on the optimum pressure ratio.
