Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the primary cause of tumor metastasis after surgery. Metastatic tumor recurrence is the leading reason of cancer death. It is prerequisite to develop a platform for CTCs separation to predict the cancer cell transfer in important organs. Herein, a novel acoustic microfluidic device was designed to capture the "true" CTCs from the whole blood sample. The blood got...
