Title: MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING OR SIZING INDIVIDUAL PARTICLES PASSING THROUGH A CHANNEL | SYSTEME MICROFLUIDIQUE PERMETTANT D'IDENTIFIER OU DE CALIBRER DES PARTICULES INDIVIDUELLES CIRCULANT DANS UN CANAL
Usefulness: MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING OR SIZING INDIVIDUAL PARTICLES PASSING THROUGH A CHANNEL | SYSTEME MICROFLUIDIQUE PERMETTANT D'IDENTIFIER OU DE CALIBRER DES PARTICULES INDIVIDUELLES CIRCULANT DANS UN CANAL
Summary: The apparatus is useful for identifying individual particles, e.g. cell; cell fragment; colloid; or bacterium, virus, fungus, micelle, liposome, DNA or RNA or an oligonucleotide chain (claimed); and useful for characterization of cancer and other types of cells; to measure patient responses to cytotoxic chemotherapy; or isolation of circulating tumor and/or endothelial cells from patients with solid tumors and/or isolation of circulating hematopoietic precursor cells from patients.
Novelty: Individual particles identifying apparatus useful, e.g. for characterization of cancer and other types of cells, comprises measuring system to measure period during which particle moves through channel
