Current instruments aim to separate and enrich desired cells from complex matrices using smaller sample sizes, all while shrinking device size to handheld or benchtop scale. Many of these new technologies make use of microfluidics and/or microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) which employ microscale electric, acoustic, or magnetic fields to separate cells on the basis of character...
