Abstract

We have developed a microfluidic platform that is compatible with atomic force microscope (AFM) to isolate and quantitatively measure adhesive and nanomechanical properties of intact prostate circulating tumor cells (CTCs). A robust linker chemistry was used to efficiently capture CTCs through high density of active antibodies, with minimal nonspecific binding of other blood cells. The platform was proven to be successful in nanomechanically characterizing intact single cancer cells.
