Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above method still has the following defects in the process of use: on the one hand, when the blood flows through the microfluidic channel, it is limited by the low magnetic field gradient, and the cell capture effect is not strong, which may lead to cell loss; on the other hand, Low effective magnetic trap density can lead to cell aggregation at the front of the microfluidic channel, which can affect the structural integrity and fluorescent signal of circulating tumor cells, interfering with cell imaging and identification

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application field of biotechnology, in particular to a micro-magnet cell capture device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Circulating tumor cells (CTCs, circulating tumor cells) are a general term for all kinds of tumor cells that exist in peripheral blood. They are released from tumor lesions, fall off from solid tumor lesions (primary lesions, metastases) and enter the blood circulation. The number of rare cells is an important indicator of disease progression and metastasis in cancer patients. The detection of circulating tumor cells is helpful for the diagnosis of patients with early metastatic tumors, monitoring the recurrence and metastasis of postoperative patients, evaluating the sensitivity of antitumor drugs and the prognosis of patients, and selecting individualized treatment strategies. However, the number of circulating tumor cells in the blood is very rare, with an average of 1...
