Abstract

The invention relates to a circulating tumor cell (CTC) separating and capturing device, in particular to a circulating tumor cell (CTC) separating and capturing device which is simple in structure, stable and reliable and comprises a micro-fluidic chip. The micro-fluidic chip is hermetically connected with a sample tube, a first waste liquid collecting tube, a solution tube, a second waste liquid collecting tube and an enriched liquid collecting tube; the sample tube, the first waste liquid collecting tube, the solution tube, the second waste liquid collecting tube and the enriched liquid collecting tube are respectively connected with a pneumatic driving device. The invention has the advantages of one-step separation, short time, low cost, integrated microfluidic chip, automatic operation flow, simple structure, stable performance and good reliability. After a blood sample is separated by the device, a suspension containing circulating tumor cells (CTC) is collected in the enrichment liquid collecting tube.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a circulating tumor cell (CTC) separation and capture device, which drives blood samples into a microfluidic chip through air pressure control, enabling the sample to separate and capture circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the microfluidic chip. Background technique [0002] At present, the continuous increase of tumor morbidity and mortality has become one of the serious problems in today's society. At present, the discovery and diagnosis of most tumors still rely on imaging examinations, traditional tumor markers and tissue biopsy. Traditional invasive tissue biopsy requires removing a tissue or cell sample from the patient, a procedure that often brings certain risks and pain to the patient. More importantly, tissue biopsy is not suitable for repeated extraction and is prone to complications, and it has the risk of spreading cancer cells. Related studies have confirmed that in the early stages of cancer, tumors release circu...
