Microfluidic mechanical analysis of cells. a) Schematic illustration of deformability cytometry. A high-speed camera is used to take images of stretched cells in microchannels. Density scatter plot of size and deformability is then got.

The device is composed of deterministic lateral displacement and trapping barrier structures. Cancer cells are separated by their size and transportability through small gaps. Transportability and diameter of each cell is plotted. Reproduced with permission.[24] Copyright 2015, NPG.
