Benefits of technology

This patent describes a biological fluid filtration system that can use a valve to direct a fluid through either the first or second outlet based on the data from a scanner that scans the fluid. The system is controlled by a control unit that receives the scanned data and directs the valve accordingly. The technical effect of this system is that it can provide a more precise and efficient way to filter biological fluids, without compromising their quality.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, rarity is a significant challenge for the identification and separation of CTCs and CTC-clusters.
Furthermore, some CTCs overlap in size with white blood cells, making size based separation challenging.

Abstract

A biological fluid filtration system for scanning a biological fluid so as to filter potentially undesirable constituents from the biological fluid for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. The biological fluid filtration system generally includes a fluid receiving device adapted to receive a biological fluid. A valve including an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet is fluidly connected to the fluid receiving device. The biological fluid within the fluid receiving device is scanned by a scanner to produce scanned data relating to the biological fluid. A control unit in communication with the scanner and the valve receives the scanned data and controls the valve based on the scanned data. The valve is controlled to direct the biological fluid through either the first or second outlet of the valve depending upon the constituents of the biological fluid identified by the control unit.
