Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a major contributor of cancer metastases and hold a
promising prognostic significance in cancer detection. Performing functional and molecular …

Mechanical phenotyping of single cells is an emerging tool for cell classification, enabling
assessment of effective parameters relating to cells' interior molecular content and structure …

Droplet microfluidics has emerged as a prospering field for lab-on-a-chip devices, where
droplets serve as liquid vessels eg for biochemical reagents. Key to the fluid processing in …

Enrichment of rare cells from peripheral blood has emerged as a means to enable
noninvasive diagnostics and development of personalized drugs, commonly associated with …

Platelets contain growth factors which are important in biomedical and clinical applications.
In this work, we present an acoustic separation device for high-throughput, non-invasive …

Sepsis is a common and often deadly systemic response to an infection, usually caused by
bacteria. The gold standard for finding the causing pathogen in a blood sample is blood …

A more effective treatment of bacteremia requires a diagnostic platform that is both sensitive,
accurate and rapid. Currently, clinical laboratory techniques require growth of bacteria prior …

Metastatic disease is responsible for most cancer deaths, and hematogenous spread
through circulating tumor cells (CTC) is a prerequisite for tumor dissemination. CTCs may …

We present a theory for the acoustic force density acting on inhomogeneous fluids in
acoustic fields on time scales that are slow compared to the acoustic oscillation period. The …
