  • CAPTURE OF CIRCULATING TUMOR CELLS USING CARBON NANOTUBE SPONGES
    Publication number: 20200217849
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from a subject without using a cancer biomarker. The method comprises contacting a test sample with a carbon nanotube (CNT) sponge. The test sample comprises cells from a small amount of peripheral blood from a subject after removal of plasma and lysis of erythrocytes. The cells in the test sample comprise CTCs from the subject. The CNT sponge is free of an agent specific for a cancer biomarker.
