Labelling Efficiency
For positive selection, pre-stained cell lines with low and high EpCAM expression were spiked into whole blood, incubated with various amounts of anti-EpCAM coated beads, and samples were mixed using either active magnetic mixing or passive mixing. Following mixing, samples were processed through a debulking array to remove RBCs and collected in a 24-well plate; target cells were identified based on their fluorescence and their bead loading was evaluated. 8

Inertial focusing for tumor antigen–dependent and –independent sorting of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
E. Ozkumur et al., Sci. Transl. Med. 5, 179ra47 (2013).
Positive depletion identifies CTCs using antibodies that latch onto the protein EpCAM, commonly found on the surface of CTCs. Current commercially available CTC-sorting devices are based on positive depletion, and the CTC-iChip also successfully isolated magnetically labeled CTCs with enhanced performance.

Continuous Particle Separation Through Deterministic Lateral Displacement
(A) Geometric parameters defining the obstacle matrix. A fluid flow is applied in the vertical direction (orange arrow). (B) Three fluid streams (red, yellow, and blue) in a gap do not mix as they flow through the matrix. Lane 1 at the first obstacle row becomes lane 3 at the second row, lane 3 becomes lane 2 at the third row, and so on. Small particles following streamlines will thus stay in the same lane. (C) A particle with a radius that is larger than lane 1 follows a streamline passing through the particle's center (black dot), moving toward lane 1. The particle is physically displaced as it enters the next gap. Black dotted lines mark the lanes.

Negative DepletionNegative depletion, in contrast, sorts out CTCs by eliminating all other “known” cells first. By magnetically labeling white blood cells rather than CTCs, the researchers were able to isolate a vast array of unlabeled tumor cells using CTC-iChip. Negative depletion allows for the detection of CTCs without having to know what type of tumor they came from beforehand and regardless of whether they produce EpCAM. Thus, negative depletion methods may be able to identify a greater variety of tumors across a broader range of development than positive depletion.

Inertial focusing for tumor antigen–dependent and –independent sorting of rare circulating tumor cells
• The CTC-iChip was able to sort CTCs from whole blood: - quicker than previously developed microfluidic devices, - allowing larger blood samples to be processed in a short amount of time more efficiently than other magnet-based sorting systems, - reducing the amount of materials required and increasing the sensitivity of the device - more effectively in samples with few EpCAM-producing CTCs compared to other sorting methods- more effectively in samples known to not express EpCAM, such as triple negative breast cancer and melanoma.
• By collecting CTCs in a way that allows them to be studied further, the CTC-iChip could also help clinicians identify important genetic differences between individual CTCs that may inform which targeted therapy is indicated. “It will enable, in the long run, [a physician] to treat the right patient with the right drug at the right dose at the right time.”
