Abstract

In this research, we demonstrate a novel operating method of spiral microfluidics to enrich rarecell from the patient-derived sample, even if unit single pass separation step cannot provide adequate separation resolution. By feeding the output stream of the separation back to original sample, and running continuously with high flow processing rate, one can achieve high preconcentration, recovery and purity of target cells. We demonstrated this method in two clinically relevant cell separation challenges; sputum and blood separation.
