Table 1.

Recovery rate and purity of HeLa cells in device calibration (HeLa: 5.8 μm microparticles, 2 × 10⁶ cells mL⁻¹: 2 × 10⁶ particles mL⁻¹), 1:1 (HeLa:blood, 2 × 10⁶ cells mL⁻¹:2 × 10⁶ cells mL⁻¹), 1:10 (HeLa:blood, 2 × 10⁵ cells mL⁻¹:2 × 10⁶ cells mL⁻¹), and 1:100 (HeLa:blood, 2 × 10⁴ cells mL⁻¹:2 × 10⁶ cells mL⁻¹) ratios. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, n = 3.
