Abstract
This paper presents a method of capturing viable
circulating tumor cells (CTC) from human whole
blood using constant-pressure-driven filtration through
a specially designed parylene-C membrane “slot” filter.
More than 90% viable cancer cells could be recovered
from whole blood using the slot filter, with minimal
non-cancer blood cells left on the filter. The feasibility
of the telomerase activity measurement of a single
cancer cell taken from the filter after capture was
proven. The on-filter and off-filter cultures of the
captured cancer cells were also demonstrated.
