Sensitive and High‐Throughput Isolation of Rare Cells from Peripheral Blood with Ensemble‐Decision Aliquot Ranking

Abstract

Enrichment of cells: An approach called ensemble-decision aliquot ranking (eDAR) for isolating rare cells from peripheral blood is described. The eDAR process has a recovery of over 93 % (number of runs n=9) with a zero false positive rate (n=8) and provides direct easy access to individual isolated live cells for downstream single-cell manipulation and analysis (CTCs=circulating tumor cells).
