From: Microfluidic cytometric analysis of cancer cell transportability and invasiveness
On-chip separation of MCF-7/GFP cells is achieved using the microfluidic device.
(a) Microscopic images of fluorescence (green) and bright-field channels are merged. Cell size increases from top to bottom in the vertical direction. Transportability has horizontal distribution. The flow rate is 10 μL/min, scale bar = 1 mm. (b) Microscopic images show the trapped cells at indicated positions in the device, scale bar = 50 μm. (c) Cell diameter versus displacement is plotted for MCF-7 cells separated in untreated and PLL-treated chips and cytochalasin D treated MCF-7 cells. (d) The proportion of MCF-7 cells separated in untreated and PLL-treated chips and cytochalasin D treated MCF-7 cells with indicated transportability is shown.
