Microfluidic platforms developed for CTC detection and isolation from whole blood samples are based on several techniques: bio-chemical (specific receptor–ligand interaction), mechanical, electrical, optical, and magnetic. Immunostaining assays or genetic analyses are then applied to identify, enumerate, and characterize the isolated CTCs.
