Abstract
. An average recovery ratio of ∼95% and an average purity of ∼61% for the three tumor cells were achieved. Finally, we successfully applied the CEICS device for the pretreatment-free separation of MTCs from clinical MPPEs of different cancers. Our CEICS device may provide a preparation tool for improving the sensitivity and efficiency of cytological examination.
