To improve cell recovery of trophoblast and nucleated red blood cells from maternal blood for diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, we have investigated the use of a magnetic sorting system that utilizes a ferrofluid. The main advantage of this system is that the beads used are small enough to allow visualization ... More

We have developed a platform for cell analysis based on immunomagnetic selection and magnetic alignment of cells in combination with an epi-illumination tracking and detection system. Whole blood was labeled with ferromagnetic nanoparticles and fluorescent probes, and placed in a magnetic field in a chamber. Cells labeled with ferromagnetic nanoparticles ... More
